Spiced Carrots With Apricots
Servings
4 Servings
Ingredients
- 1 onion chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced (optional)
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- Pinch ground cloves
- Pinch grated nutmeg
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 cup chopped dried apricots
- About ½ cup water
- 4 cups baby carrots or small-cut carrots, steamed yet a little firm
- 3-4 tablespoons oil for frying
- Salt and pepper
Instructions
- In a frying pan, fry up onions with oil (and garlic if you choose to use it) until the onions are soft.
- Add spices, sugar, and apricots to the pan.
- When the sugar has been absorbed, add the water so it’s like a sauce and has a little liquid to cook in.
- Add carrots (they should be steamed a little before hand so they cook faster), and cook for a few minutes.
- Stir with the sauce, until they are covered nicely and a little brown. Add salt and pepper to taste if desired.
