Ingredients:

  • 4 large cloves garlic
  • 3/4 tsp cumin seeds
  • 1/2 cup olive oil , for the dressing
  • 3 tbsp water , or as needed
  • pinch of sugar , if desired
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 small bunch flatleaf parsley, leaves only, finely chopped

Directions:

  1. In a minifood processor or a blender, combine the garlic, oregano, cumin seeds, coriander, and pepper flakes. Add the vinegar and grind to a paste. In a thin stream, drizzle in the olive oil and blend until the mixture is emulsified. Set aside while you cook the carrots. In a medium heavy saucepan, heat the olive oil over mediumhigh heat. Add the carrots and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 to 4 minutes or until beginning to soften. Add the water, sugar (if desired), salt, and pepper and cover the pan. Reduce the heat to mediumlow and cook, shaking the pan occasionally, for about 5 more minutes, or until the carrots are just tender but not mushy. Add a little more water to the pan if necessary. Transfer the carrots to a serving bowl with a slotted spoon and immediately add the herb dressing. Toss together and cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Leave the carrots to marinate for 2 to 3 hours, and when ready to serve, stir in the parsley. Serve at room temperature, on tiny plates or ramekins.
