A recipe from Paula Wolfert's book, Moroccan Cuisine. This is similar to carrot salads we had in Zagora, in the south of Morocco, if slightly more acidic. For my taste, I would cut back on the lemon but I have reproduced the recipe here as it is written in the book.

Steps:
- Boil the carrots whole in water, wtih the garlic, until just barely tender.
- Drain and discard the garlic.
- Dice or slice the carrots.
- Mix the spices and lemon juice with the sugar.
- Pour over the carrots.
- Chill.
- Add salt to taste and sprinkle with a bit of olive oil and parsley before serving.
- When I was in Morocco the chefs always added a bit of extra cumin on top as well.
