INSTRUCTIONS
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
medium-high 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
medium-low 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 in
ramekins. This recipe yields 8 to 10 servings as part of a tapas.
