Inspired by other Moroccan dishes, this simple dish is delicious with many savory couscous and spicy meat dishes.
Ingredients:
- 1 lb carrots peeled and cut into small rounds
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp butter (melted)
- 1 ½ cups chopped onions
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- ¼ tsp cinnamon
- The juice of 1 orange
- The rind of 1 orange
Preparation:
- Bring carrots to a boil until tender, drain and set aside.
- In a sauce pan heat the oil and butter and sauté the onions.
- Add the carrots to the onions and toss for 2-3 minutes.
- Add the brown sugar, cinnamon, orange juice and zest.
- Reduce heat and sauté for an additional 3-5 minutes.
Note: This could be served as a side dish with fish, chicken, or whatever you please. Any leftover carrots may be used as soup by adding a vegetable or chicken stock. Bring to a boil and puree with a hand held electric beater or immersion blender until you reach a creamy consistency. Enjoy!
