MOROCCAN CARROTS

Steps:

• Put carrots in a large, deep skillet and barely cover with water. Season with a pinch of salt. Cook over medium-high heat until the carrots begin to soften, 10-12 minutes.
• Remove the carrots and set aside, reserving the cooking liquid in the skillet. To the liquid, add the orange juice, lemon juice, cumin, and pepper. Smash a garlic clove, discard the peel, and add to the cooking liquid. Bring to a simmer and reduce until syrupy, 10 minutes. Meanwhile, when the carrots are cool enough to handle, cut into rustic chunks and set aside in a bowl.
• Remove syrupy mixture from heat and add olive oil; shake it around in the skillet to create a vinaigrette. Discard the garlic and spoon the vinaigrette over the carrots. Garnish with torn mint and cilantro. Toss and serve.

Steps:

• 1. Using a mandoline slicer or very sharp knife, very thinly slice the carrots on the diagonal about 1/16 inch thick and put them in a bowl.
• 2. Put the cumin, paprika, cinnamon and cayenne in a small dry skillet over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring frequently, until the spices are fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the oil and swirl the pan to mix. Add the lemon juice and swirl the pan; when the mixture begins to bubble, add the garlic and cook, swirling the pan, for 15 to 20 seconds, until the dressing is very hot. Pour the hot dressing over the carrots and toss with a large rubber spatula until the carrots are evenly coated and have absorbed the dressing. Add the parsley, season with salt and pepper, and toss until combined.
