INSTRUCTIONS
This side dish with a difference goes very well with plainly grilled or
roasted chicken or braised lamb.
Wash 3 large or 4 medium carrots and Slice into rounds. Peel one onion and
slice. Stone 8 fresh dates (or substitute dried) and cut into slices
lengthwise. Have ready 4 tablespoons of currants or sultanas. Heat 2
tablespoons olive oil in a wide saucepan. Add all the prepared ingredients
and stir-fry for a minute or two, then add 100 mL water, cover and bring to
a fast boil. Add salt to taste and put back the lid at an angle so that
steam can escape. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasional- ly, until
the carrots are tender and the water has evaporated. If water remains,
remove the lid and raise the heat to dry it off. Serve.
