Step 1

Put carrot slices into a saucepan and just cover with water; bring to boil and simmer until the carrots are just tender but still firm.

Step 3

Keep the carrots warm.

Step 4

Into a saucepan ~ put in the oil, salt and pepper to taste, cinnamon, cumin, garlic & thyme; cook very gently for 10 minutes.

Step 5

Stir in the reserved carrot cooking liquid and add the bay leaf and simmer the mix for a further 15 minutes or until it has thickened slightly.

Step 6

Add the carrots to the pan and fold them into the sauce; reheat for 2 - 3 minutes or until hot.

Step 7

Remove the bay leaf from the pan and turn the carrots onto a warmed serving dish.

These were delicious, tender carrots. I was lazy and used baby carrots and I only used a pinch of dried thyme—otherwise, I followed as directed. Made for Billboard Tag here in the forums.
