This delicious vegetable recipe is a great side dish for entertaining because you can serve it warm, at room temperature or even slightly chilled. And it goes with almost any main course, from beef to chicken to fish. MAKE AHEAD: The carrots can be prepared early in the day and kept at room temperature or refrigerated. From Anissa Helou and the Couscous Chronicles, Food and Wine, March 2005.

Great side dish! I loved the idea of cooking the carrots with garlic - something I had never thought of doing before. I used about half the amount of carrots as I was only serving 3 people, but I did keep the rest of the ingredients the same. A wonderful blend of flavours. Made and reviewed for ZWT 4.

We really savored this dish. I tweaked the recipe slightly. Minced up the garlic and added to the oil/lemon mixture. Toasted instead of blanched the almonds then coarsely chopped them. Used fresh parsley from the garden. This went nicely with Rita L.'s saffron rice. Thanks for sharing. cg
