Savory Carrots With Paprika and Capers

This is my favorite way to eat cooked carrots! The carrots and onion are sweet, the garlic adds some savory, and the paprika adds such an interesting complimentary flavor! If you dislike cooked carrots, try this one...you will not be disappointed! The recipe calls for a special paprika, but to be honest I've only used regular. Soon I'll be getting the Sweet Hungarian, so I'll update with new comments after I've tried it. "Like most Moroccan salads, this can be made up to a day ahead and chilled. For the best flavor, bring it back to room temperature before serving." -from Cooking Light JUNE 2004
