Ingredients

  • 2 lbs carrots, peeled
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil, plus more
  • olive oil, for sauteing
  • 1/2 tablespoon cumin
  • 1/2 tablespoon paprika
  • 1/2 tablespoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
  • 3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
  • 1 pinch cayenne pepper
  • 3 tablespoons white wine vinegar (or champagne vinegar)

Method

  • Place carrots in a large pot of cold water and bring to a boil, cooking until slightly tender but not overdone, approximately 15 minutes depending on the size of the carrots.
  • Drain and place carrots in an ice-water bath until cool.
  • Slice diagonally into 1/4-inch-thick rounds.
  • In a large pan, saute the carrot slices in olive oil until slightly brown, cooking them in small batches if your pan becomes crowded.
  • Place carrots in a bowl, add the olive oil and the remaining ingredients, and mix well.
  • For best results, refrigerate overnight and serve at room temperature.
