Steps:
- Put carrots in a large, deep skillet and barely cover with water. Season with a pinch of salt. Cook over medium-high heat until the carrots begin to soften, 10-12 minutes.
- Remove the carrots and set aside, reserving the cooking liquid in the skillet. To the liquid, add the orange juice, lemon juice, cumin, and pepper. Smash a garlic clove, discard the peel, and add to the cooking liquid. Bring to a simmer and reduce until syrupy, 10 minutes. Meanwhile, when the carrots are cool enough to handle, cut into rustic chunks and set aside in a bowl.
- Remove syrupy mixture from heat and add olive oil; shake it around in the skillet to create a vinaigrette. Discard the garlic and spoon the vinaigrette over the carrots. Garnish with torn mint and cilantro. Toss and serve.
