This carrot dish is from the Orange County Register, attributed to Jack Elvis. It would pair well with chicken or a fish dish. I haven't tried this yet, but I imagine that the combination of flavors will be excellent.

ingredients

2 ¹⁄₂ lbs carrots, peeled and sliced
¹⁄₂ teaspoon hot sauce
2 tablespoons light olive oil
3 garlic cloves, sliced thinly
1 lemon, juice of
2 teaspoons cumin seeds, toasted
¹⁄₂ teaspoon sugar
¹⁄₂ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons mint, finely chopped

directions

Steam the carrots in a steamer basket for about 5 minutes, or until barely tender. Reserve 5 tbsp of the cooking water.
Meanwhile, toast the cumin seeds in a dry skillet just until they release their fragrance. Set aside.
In a pot that will be large enough to hold the carrots, saute the garlic in the oil for about 1 minute. Add the 5 tbsp of carrot cooking water, the hot sauce, lemon juice, cumin seed, sugar and salt. Mix well.
Add in the carrots, partially cover and cook over med-low heat until the carrots are tender and the liquid has reduced, approximately 10 minutes. Do not let it dry out completely.
Stir in the mint leaves and serve immediately.

A delicious side dish that went very well with Recipe #428625. I did use baby cut carrots as that is what I had on hand. Made for No Nonsense Nibblers in *ZWT6*
