Steps:
- Generously season beef with salt and pepper. Dust with flour and shake off excess. Heat a Dutch oven or other heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high, and swirl in 2 tablespoons oil.
- Add half of beef in a single layer and cook, turning a few times, until browned in places, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a plate, leaving fat in pot. Brown remaining beef; transfer to plate.
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Swirl remaining 1 tablespoon oil into pot, still over medium-high heat. Cook onion and bell pepper until onions are golden, 3 to 4 minutes. Add tomato paste and berbere seasoning and cook, stirring frequently, until tomato paste is caramelized, 1 minute. Add Worcestershire sauce and wine; boil until mostly evaporated.
- Return beef and any accumulated juices to pot along with broth. Bring to a boil. Cover pot, transfer to oven, and cook 1 1/2 hours. Remove pot from oven and stir carrots into stew. Cover and continue cooking in oven until beef is fork-tender and carrots are easily pierced with the tip of a knife, about 1 hour more. Stir in chickpeas; return to oven for 5 minutes more, just to heat through.
- Ladle stew into shallow bowls, sprinkle with mint, and serve. Cooled stew can be transferred to an airtight container and refrigerated up to 2 days, or frozen up to 3 months.

Broil until the salmon is golden brown and just cooked through and the carrots are crisp-tender, 5 to 7 minutes.

BERBERE-SPICED ROASTED CARROTS, CHICKPEAS AND ONIONS
This is one of my favorite sheet pan meals. The protein from the chickpeas makes it a complete meal, especially with a cooling dollop of Greek yogurt on the side. You could also use this as a side to roasted chicken or fish fillets or toss with hearty, leafy greens for a substantial fall or winter salad. Feel free to substitute other canned beans or vary the root vegetables (a few parsnips are really nice!) to suit your taste.

Steps:
- For the carrots and onions: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F with a rimmed baking sheet on the bottom rack. To cut the carrots, hold a carrot at a 45-degree angle on your cutting board and slice a 1-inch chunk off, rotate the carrot a quarter turn and slice off another chunk. Continue to the end of the carrot and cut all of the carrots this way. (This is a "roll" or "oblique cut," a good technique for cutting long vegetables to give lots of surface area for browning.) Toss the carrots in a large bowl with the onion, chickpeas, olive oil, berbere and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Spread on the preheated baking sheet and roast until the vegetables are tender and nicely caramelized, about 25 minutes.
- For the awaze sauce: While the carrots and onions roast, place the berbere in a small bowl. Stir in the red wine, honey and 1 teaspoon salt. The sauce should be thick but still able to drizzle. (This makes more awaze than you'll need for the recipe, but it keeps for up to a week in the fridge in an airtight container).
- Mound the carrots and onions on a serving platter and drizzle with a few tablespoons of awaze sauce. Serve warm.
- Combine all the spices in a small skillet. Toast over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Let cool completely. This spice blend will keep, tightly sealed, in your pantry for several months. For longer storage, keep in the freezer. Makes about 1/2 cup.

Steps:
- In a non-reactive saucepan, add the first 5 ingredients, bring to boil over medium-high heat and cook for 2 minutes, swirling the pan once or twice to dissolve the sugar.

- Remove carrots from pan, into a serving dish, sprinkle with parsley and coriander.
- Serve hot or at room temperature or cold.
Tips:
- Choose the right carrots: For the best flavor and texture, choose fresh, firm carrots that are about the same size. Avoid carrots that are limp or have blemishes.
- Peel and cut the carrots evenly: Peeling the carrots will help them cook evenly. Cut the carrots into uniform pieces so that they cook at the same rate.
- Use a variety of spices: The combination of spices in this recipe creates a delicious and flavorful dish. Feel free to experiment with different spices to find your favorite combination.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the carrots, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
- Cook the carrots until tender: Cook the carrots until they are tender but still have a slight bite to them. Overcooked carrots will be mushy and bland.
- Serve immediately: Spiced carrots are best served immediately after cooking. They can be served as a side dish or as a main course.
Conclusion:
Spiced carrots are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are also a good source of vitamins and minerals, making them a healthy addition to any meal.
