Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 large onion, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 teaspoons ground cumin

1 teaspoon ground coriander

1/2 teaspoon paprika

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

3 cups grated carrots

1/2 cup vegetable broth or water

2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Directions

Place carrots in a large saucepan and cover with water by 1/2 an inch. Add sugar and 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until carrots are tender, liquid has evaporated, about 15 minutes. Continue to cook, stirring constantly, until sugar is a golden blond caramel color, about 5 minutes longer. Remove from heat and immediately add half a cup of water. Transfer carrots and caramel to the bowl of a food processor.
