Ingredients
- 500 grams carrots
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 whole, minced garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 teaspoons paprika
- 1 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 120 milliliters water
Instructions
Peel and slice the carrots into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant, taking care not to burn it.
Stir in the cumin and paprika, allowing the spices to toast lightly for about 30 seconds.
Add the sliced carrots to the skillet, stirring to coat them evenly with the spices and garlic.
Pour in the water and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Cover the skillet with a lid and let the carrots cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender but not mushy.
Uncover the skillet and cook for another 2-3 minutes, letting any excess water evaporate.
Stir in the lemon juice, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
Remove from heat and transfer the Israeli Carrots to a serving dish.
Serve warm or at room temperature as a side dish or appetizer.
