Ingredients:

Serving

2 cups water
5 cups (1-inch) sliced carrots (about 2 lb)
1 1/2 tbsp honey
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp coriander seeds
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper
1 (5-inch) mint sprig
1 (2-inch) cinnamon stick
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 cup oil-cured black olives, pitted and coarsely chopped
1 tsp rice vinegar
1 tsp extra-virgin olive oil
1 tsp chopped fresh mint
mint sprigs (optional)

Directions:

Bring water to a simmer in a large saucepan. Stir in carrots and next 8 ingredients (carrots through garlic); cover and simmer 15 minutes or until carrots are tender. Remove carrots with a slotted spoon, reserving liquid.
Bring liquid to a boil; cook until reduced to 1/4 cup (about 10 minutes). Discard mint sprig and cinnamon stick. Return carrots to pan; stir in olives, vinegar, and oil. Cook 1 minute or until heated. Sprinkle with chopped mint. Garnish with mint sprigs, if desired.
