Carrot shlada

(recipe from The Africa Cookbook, by Jessica Harris, via Philadelphia Inquirer Magazine)

1 lb. carrots, peeled and sliced into coins
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 tsp. paprika
1/2 tsp. cumin
2 Tbsp. olive oil
2 Tbsp. red wine vinegar
1 Tbsp. minced flat-leaf parsley (I used cilantro)
salt and pepper to taste

Cook carrots with garlic in about 1 cup of boiling water, covered, until slightly tender, about 8 minutes.  Drain carrots and place in a nonreactive bowl.

Mix the remaining ingredients in a small bowl, pour over the salad, toss.  Let stand for about half an hour.

(A nice salad, can be served warmed or cool.  Tangy and bright.)
