Algerian Carrots

This carrot dish is from the orange county register, attributed to jack elvis. It would pair well with chicken or a fish dish. I haven't tried this yet, but i imagine that the combination of flavors will be excellent.

Steps

Steam the carrots in a steamer basket for about 5 minutes , or until barely tender.
Reserve 5 tbsp of the cooking water.
Meanwhile , toast the cumin seeds in a dry skillet just until they release their fragrance.
Set aside.
In a pot that will be large enough to hold the carrots , saute the garlic in the oil for about 1 minute.
Add the 5 tbsp of carrot cooking water , the hot sauce , lemon juice , cumin seed , sugar and salt.
Mix well.
Add in the carrots , partially cover and cook over med-low heat until the carrots are tender and the liquid has reduced , approximately 10 minutes.
Do not let it dry out completely.
Stir in the mint leaves and serve immediately.
