Enozia
These 10 minute marinated carrots are sweet, spicy, garlicky and have that nice bit of crunch, making them a great appetizer or side.

Ingredients
  

  • 3-4 carrots
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon vinegar
  • ½ tablespoon oil
  • ½ teaspoon cumin
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne
  • 1 garlic
  • ½ onion
  • 1 tablespoon cilantro

Instructions
 

  • Peel and wash carrots. Slice them into rounds and blanch them in hot water for a couple of minutes to soften them. Drain and set them aside.
  • In a bowl, combine minced onion and garlic with the vinegar, cumin, cayenne and sugar.
  • Add the blanched carrots and chopped cilantro.
  • Mix everything well and allow the carrots to sit for a while before you serve and enjoy.

Notes

  • Choose carrots that are roughly the same size and shape. This will ensure your sliced carrots all look uniform.
  • I cut the carrots into slices here, but you can also cut them diagonally, or into sticks (like I did with my ginger carrot pickle recipe) or practically any cut you prefer.
  • If you prefer a thinner texture, you can also try shredding the carrots- I did this when I made my quick pickled shredded carrots, which were SO good as a topping for tacos.
