African Spiced Carrots
I can't believe how good these are! I generally hate carrots, even though I love most vegetables and eat them every day. I've been looking for a way to cook carrots that would allow me to add them to my diet. This is it! Thanks so much for posting this wonderful recipe!

Directions
Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
Add garlic, paprika, cumin and coriander; cook, stirring, until fragrant but not browned, about 30 seconds.
Add carrots, water, lemon juice and salt; bring to a simmer.
Reduce heat to medium low, cover and cook until almost tender, 5 to 7 minutes.
Uncover and simmer, stirring often, until the carrots are just tender and the liquid is syrupy, 6 to 8 minutes.
Stir in cilantro leaves.
Serve hot.
