Yield Serves 4 as a first course

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons golden raisins
1/8 teaspoon crumbled saffron threads
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon hot water
4 large carrots
2 teaspoons ground coriander seeds
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon olive or vegetable oil
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh cilantro leaves
freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • In a small bowl stir together raisins, saffron, and water and let mixture stand 30 minutes to soften raisins.
  • While raisin mixture is standing, cut carrots into 3-inch lengths and, using side of a grater with teardrop-shaped holes, grate sides of carrots, discarding woody center cores. In a small heavy skillet stir together coriander seeds, cumin, and oil and cook over moderate heat until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • In a bowl toss together carrots, raisin mixture, spices, cilantro, pepper, and salt to taste.
