4 cups peeled shredded carrot (5 or 6 large carrots) Ask a question about this ingredient

salt and pepper Ask a question about this ingredient
a generous fistful of cilantro Ask a question about this ingredient
Whisk the sugar and vinegar together in a microwave safe something (I used a glass measuring cup)
Ask a question about this stepDry toast the whole spices in a medium hot skillet until they smell wonderful and start to pop a little. Put them in a mortar and pestle and gently crush them. Whisk them into the sugar and vinegar along with the aleppo pepper, then stir in the raisins and nuke the whole thing for one minute to warm it a bit and plump the raisins.

Add a pinch of salt and a bit of pepper, taste and adjust accordingly. Now cover it and put it in the fridge to marinate for an hour or so, or overnight.

Ask a question about this stepLooks delicious! Definitely going to try this one. ;o)
Fenugreek: yes, a seed -- try sprouting for a subtle maple flavor!
Love the spicing on this one.
yum yum! the cilantro is a very clever addition!
Our cilantro seeds made a break for it and planted themselves everywhere - need fresh cilantro? Just go outside and look around - it's plentiful! :-)
Dang! I was gonna do my recipe for vinegar and oil carrot slaw, but didn't, precisely because of what you wrote. Who eats that crap? I do! It's good to know I'm not the only one.
I almost didn't post this one! But it really is quite good and far from the dreaded crap :-) You should post yours too!!!
Oh man! I had a packet of fenugreek in my hot little hands while visiting a teensy spice shop last week and didn't buy them. Bah. I WILL make this.
