Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1/2 pound carrots; 8 small mint leaves; 1 each lovage leaf; 2 teaspoons olive oil, extra-virgin; 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds; 1 x salt; 2 1/2 cups water; 1 tablespoon champagne vinegar; 1 x black pepper freshly ground; 1 x mint leaves finely chopped

1
Scrape the carrots and slice them into pieces 2 to 3-inches long.
2
Cut each piece lengthwise into quarters or, if the carrots are very large, into sixths or eighths.
3
All the pieces should be about the same size.
4
Tear or chop the herbs.
5
Warm the oil with the cumin seeds and green herbs for a few moments to bring out their fragrances; then add the carrots and toss them in the oil.
6
Add a few pinches of salt, the water, and the vinegar; bring to a boil.
7
Lower the heat, and simmer until tender, about 40 minutes.
8
By this time, the liquid should have reduced to almost nothing, leaving the carrots nicely glazed.
9
If the pan becomes dry before the carrots are done, add more water in 1/4 or 1/2-cup increments until they are sufficiently tender.
10
When done, season with pepper and serve with a garnish of fresh herbs.
