Ingredients

1kg bag carrot , peeled, halved lengthways and cut into chunks
2 tsp cumin seed
½ tsp ground cinnamon
½ tsp ground coriander
2 tbsp runny honey
juice 2 lemons
50g sultana or raisins
200g pack feta cheese
½ small pack coriander or flat-leaf parsley, roughly chopped

Steps:

Bring a large pan of water to the boil. Add the carrots, and cook for about 8-10 mins until tender. Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl, mix together the cumin seeds, ground spices, honey and lemon juice, with some seasoning, using a small whisk or fork.
Drain the carrots, let them steam-dry for a few minutes in the colander, then mix them into the dressing with the sultanas or raisins. Leave at room temperature.
To serve, crumble over the feta and scatter with the herbs. Gently toss together.
