Liked the cinnamon, ginger, mangoes, and pistachios but felt that it was too spicy so next time will reduce the ras el hanout spice mix to half. Served with recipe#428754,recipe#394264, and recipe#374003. Thank you lindseylcw for posting. Made for Unrulies Under the Influence while traveling through NA*ME during ZWT6.

This is probably my new favorite way of serving carrots. The addition of pistachios and mangoes is perfect, and I loved the spice blend. I will be making this often- thanks for sharing!

This was a really interesting dish. Wasn't sure what to expect with the mango, but it all works well together. Unfortunately I didn't have any pistachio nuts (that would have been a great addition), but otherwise made as written except for parsley instead of cilantro. I thought the spice was just right. This would be an interesting side dish for a BBQ party, thanks for sharing! ZWT6.

What a great way to dress up the ol' carrot! We especially enjoyed the flavor from the spice mix (something new for us), the fresh ginger & the mango! Easy to put together, & well worth making again for company! Thanks for sharing the recipe! [Made & reviewed while in the Middle East with ZWT6]
