Steps:
- Fill a large pot with salted water and bring to a boil. Add the peeled carrots and cook until just tender. Drain the water, place the carrots back in the pot, and cover with cold water.
- Once the carrots are cooled, slice into coins about 1/4-1/3 inch thick. Place in a large jar.
- In a mortar and pestle, add the peeled garlic and mash with the oregano, cumin seeds, and paprika to form a paste. If a mortar and pestle is not available, the garlic can also be grated, then mixed with the spices. Add the mixture to the jar with the carrots.
- Pour in the vinegar and water. Stir to combine the seasonings with the carrots. If the carrots are not covered in liquid, add a little more equal parts vinegar and water. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
- Remove the carrots with a slotted spoon and arrange on small serving plates. Sprinkle with salt, olive oil, and freshly chopped parsley.
SEVILLIAN MARINATED CARROTS (ZANAHORIAS ALINADAS)
Spanish tapas bars can become legendary among locals for even the humblest of things. Spiced in the Moorish manner with cumin and loads of garlic and swimming in a tangy puddle of lemon juice and aromatic olive oil, these carrot slices are indeed a treat. You can use this marinade (alino) also for sliced of cooked beets and roasted red peppers. Adapted from the cookbook. "The New Spanish Table".
