Yield Makes 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 navel oranges
4 pounds medium carrots (24), peeled
3 1/2 tablespoons vegetable or olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons cumin seeds
1 3/4 cups water
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon sugar
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Special Equipment
parchment paper or wax paper

Steps:

  • Cut out a round from parchment paper to fit just inside a 12-inch heavy skillet (3 inches deep), then set round aside.

  • Cut a 1-inch-thick diagonal slice from a carrot and set aside, then roll carrot away from you 90 degrees and cut another 1-inch-thick diagonal slice. (Shape will resemble a trapezoidal log. If carrots are very thick, cut slices in half lengthwise as well). Cut up rest of carrot in same manner, then repeat with remaining carrots.
  • Heat oil in skillet over moderate heat until hot but not smoking, then add cumin seeds and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add carrots, water, orange juice, lemon juice, sugar, salt, and pepper. Cover carrots directly with parchment round and simmer, stirring occasionally, 30 minutes. Remove parchment, then continue to simmer, stirring occasionally, until most of liquid is evaporated and carrots are tender and glazed, about 20 minutes more. Serve warm or at room temperature, sprinkled with chopped orange.
