The trinity of North African seasonings, cumin, coriander and paprika, lends exotic appeal to this simple carrot preparation.
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil 4 cloves garlic, minced 2 teaspoons paprika 1 teaspoon ground cumin 1 teaspoon ground coriander 3 cups sliced carrots (4 medium-large) 1 cup water 3 tablespoons lemon juice 1/8 teaspoon salt, or to taste 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add garlic, paprika, cumin and coriander; cook, stirring, until fragrant but not browned, about 20 seconds. Add carrots, water, lemon juice and salt; bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low, cover and cook until almost tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Uncover and simmer, stirring often, until the carrots are just tender and the liquid is syrupy, 2 to 4 minutes. Stir in parsley. Serve hot or at room temperature.
