Ingredients

1 teaspoon cumin seeds

1 1/2 pounds carrots, coarsely grated (about 12 medium carrots)

1/4 cup golden raisins

1/4 cup fresh orange juice

4 teaspoons fresh lemon juice

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Coarse salt

Pinch of cayenne pepper (optional)

1/2 cup loosely packed fresh cilantro

Preparation

Toast cumin seeds in a small skillet over medium heat, tossing occasionally, until they are fragrant and a shade darker, about 2 minutes. Lightly crush cumin seeds using a mortar and pestle, or using the flat side of a large knife. Set crushed seeds aside.

Toss grated carrots, golden raisins, and orange and lemon juices together in a medium bowl. Add oil and crushed cumin seeds; season with salt. Add cayenne, if desired; toss in cilantro.
