Translation


Another Recipe: Boil the carrots, cut them up, cook in cumin sauce with a little oil, and serve. Make the cumin sauce for shellfish.

Method:

Add the carrots to a pan and cover with lightly-salted water. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook for about 15 minutes (or until the carrots are slightly under cooked). Drain, allow to cool until they can be handled then slice into rounds and return to the pot. Add the cumin sauce for shellfish, bring to a simmer and cook for a further 5 minutes. Serve immediately.
