*carrots with African spices

1 Tbsp olive oil
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 tsp Hungarian sweet paprika powder
1 tsp cumin seeds, slightly crushed
1 tsp coriander seeds, slightly crushed
300 ml water
500 grams carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
1 Tbsp lime juice
1 Tbsp honey
salt to taste
a handful of fresh parsley or coriander/cilantro, chopped

Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan, add the spices and garlic, stir for about a minute, until the spices are all aromatic!.
Add the water and bring to the boil!.
Add the carrots, season with salt and lime juice!. Simmer gently for about 20 minutes (I like my carrots al dente - you may want to simmer them longer, like Alanna does), adding a spoonful of honey half-ways!.
Once the carrots are your preferred consistency, then season, sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve, spooning any remaining liquid on top (the boiling water has been infused with spices, honey and carrot juices - you don't want to waste that!)

Saturday Carrot Cake
!. It is a darker, denser cake than my most recent version and very simple to make: as I said at the time the rule for recipes on that crazy programme was, 'Pick something where nothing – much – could go wrong!.'
Makes a 1 lb (450 g) loaf cake

Ingredients
3 oz (75 g) peeled and grated carrot (about 1 medium-sized carrot)
4 oz (110 g) plain wholewheat flour
? level teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
? level teaspoon ground cinnamon

3 oz fl oz (75 ml) groundnut oil
3 oz (75 g) soft brown sugar
1 large egg, lightly beaten
2 oz (50 g) chopped walnuts

For the topping:
2 oz (50 g) full-fat soft cream cheese
1 oz (25 g) unsalted butter (at room temperature)
1 oz (25 g) icing sugar, sieved
8 walnut pieces (optional)
Pre-heat the oven to gas mark 2, 300°F (150°C)!.

You will need a 1 lb (450 g) loaf tin 6 x 3? x 2? inches (15 x 9!.5 x 7 cm)!. Brush it with some melted butter, then line the base with greaseproof paper, and brush that as well!.

Grate the carrot straight into a mixing bowl, then sift in the dry ingredients to give them a good airing and tip any grains left behind in the sieve into the bowl too!. Add all the rest of the cake ingredients and stir well until everything is well and truly mixed, then scrape the mixture into your prepared tin!.

Bake the cake in the centre of the oven for 1 hour, or until well risen!. When cooked it will come about two-thirds of the way up the tin and just begin to shrink away from the sides of the tin!. After that remove it from the oven and leave the tin on a wire rack to cool for 5 minutes before turning the cake out and stripping off the paper!.

When it has cooled for 45 minutes or so, you can spread the topping on!. To make the topping, combine the ingredients in a small bowl and beat until smooth!. Spread it thickly on the top of the cake and decorate it, perhaps with additional walnut pieces!. Store in an airtight tin or container!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
