Cilantro Carrots with Cumin

This recipe looked interesting. The recipe idea and photo come from the Too Many Chefs website which is linked above. It took me sometime to look up the recipe at epicurious.com. Here is the link, http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/recipe_views/views/1058.

For those who want the ingredients here they are:

2 pounds carrots, each cut into 2-inch-long pieces, then quartered lengthwise
6 tablespoons water(or orange juice)
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons ground cumin
2 garlic cloves, pressed
2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro

It is simple to prepare this dish. Cook the carrots until crisp tender in either water or orange juice. Drain off any excess water and transfer to a new bowl. Make a salad dressing with the rest of the ingredients except the cilantro. Toss the carrots with the dressing and let cool. Add cilantro before serving.

I made this yesterday to bring to a 4th of July cookout. The flavor is strong but interesting. The folks ate it without any prodding.
