Algerian Carrots image

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.

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 1/2 lbs carrots, peeled and sliced
1/2 teaspoon hot sauce
2 tablespoons light olive oil

1 lemon, juice of
2 teaspoons cumin seeds, toasted
1/2 teaspoon sugar

2 tablespoons mint, finely chopped

  • Stir in the mint leaves and serve immediately.

The Algerian carrots were a bit too oily for my taste. I think I would have preferred them with less oil.

Algerian carrots are a delightful and flavorful side dish! The carrots were cooked to perfection, tender yet still slightly crunchy, and the combination of spices and herbs created a tantalizing aroma and taste.
