Yield Serves 4 as a first course

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons golden raisins
1/8 teaspoon crumbled saffron threads
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon hot water
4 large carrots
2 teaspoons ground coriander seeds
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon olive or vegetable oil
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh cilantro leaves
freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • In a small bowl stir together raisins, saffron, and water and let mixture stand 30 minutes to soften raisins.
  • While raisin mixture is standing, cut carrots into 3-inch lengths and, using side of a grater with teardrop-shaped holes, grate sides of carrots, discarding woody center cores. In a small heavy skillet stir together coriander seeds, cumin, and oil and cook over moderate heat until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • In a bowl toss together carrots, raisin mixture, spices, cilantro, pepper, and salt to taste.

I'm allergic to cumin, so I substituted it with ground coriander. The carrots were still delicious!

This recipe is a waste of time and ingredients. The carrots were mushy and the spices were overpowering.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my carrots didn't turn out as flavorful as I expected. I'm not sure what went wrong.

The carrots were a little too soft for my liking. I think I'll cook them for a shorter amount of time next time.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I think it could use some more spices or herbs.

These carrots were a little too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed them. I'll probably use less cayenne pepper next time.

I'm not usually a fan of carrots, but these were actually really good. The spices really made all the difference.

I love the combination of spices in this recipe. The cumin and coriander really shine through. The carrots are also cooked perfectly - they're tender but still have a bit of a bite to them.

I've made this dish several times now and it's always a hit. The carrots are always perfectly cooked and the spices give them a wonderful flavor. I love serving them as a side dish to grilled meats or fish.

Absolutely delicious! I followed the recipe exactly and the carrots turned out perfectly tender and flavorful. The spices were well-balanced and gave the carrots a nice kick. I served them as a side dish with grilled chicken and everyone loved them.
