Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups carrots
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon curry powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoons ground turmeric
- 0.5 cups raisins
- 0.5 cups vegetable broth
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Peel and slice the carrots into thin, diagonal rounds (approximately 1/4-inch thick).
Finely dice the yellow onion and mince the garlic cloves.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or sauté pan over medium heat.
Add the diced onions to the pan and sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until they start to soften and become translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic, curry powder, cumin, and turmeric. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until the spices are fragrant.
Add the sliced carrots to the pan and toss them to coat in the seasoning mixture.
Pour in the vegetable broth and stir to combine. Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet with a lid, and let the carrots simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until they are tender but not mushy.
Stir in the raisins and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Cook uncovered for another 2 minutes, allowing the raisins to plump and warm through.
Transfer the curried carrots and raisins to a serving dish, and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
Serve warm as a side dish to complement rice, lentils, grilled meats, or your favorite curry dishes.
