Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
6 large carrots -- peeled and trimmed
1/2 cup water
4 cloves garlic -- smashed (but left whole)
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1 teaspoon freshly ground caraway seed
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon olive oil
3/4 cup pitted kalamata olives -- chopped
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
Salt and black pepper -- to taste

1. Using the grating blade of a food processor or a handheld grater, shred
the carrots. You should have about 5 cups.

2. In a large saucepan, heat the water and garlic over medium- high heat.
Add the carrots and simmer gently, uncovered, for about 6 minutes or until
the shreds are softened.

3. Stir in the red pepper, caraway seed, and vinegar. Cook 3 to 5 minutes
more, stirring often, or until the vinegar is almost completely evaporated
and the carrots are tender. Leave to cool.

4. Remove and discard the garlic from the carrot mixture. Stir in the
olive oil, olives, and feta. Add salt and pepper and serve at room
temperature.

Makes about 5 cups

ChupaNote: many carrot salads are served in Turkey. This one is more of a
cooked salsa.
