Step by Step Method

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine the carrots and garlic. Add water to cover by 1 - 2 inches.

Step 2

Bring to a simmer and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the carrots to a bowl.

Step 3

Cook the cooking liquid over medium heat to reduce to a 1/2 cup.

Step 4

Whisk in 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and the lemon juice. Pour the mixture over the carrots.

Step 5

Add the cumin, cayenne, cilantro, and parsley. Set aside.

Step 6

Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions and saute until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 7

Add the dates and cook until the dates are softened. Toss the onion mixture with the carrots. Season with sea salt and ground black pepper to taste. Let cool.

Step 8

Cover and refrigerate for 1 - 2 hours to help meld the flavors.
