Instructions

Trim and peel the carrots, half them lengthwise, and cut out and discard the hard core. Cut the carrots into 1/4-inch dice. Place raisins in a small bowl.
In a small saucepan add the carrots, cinnamon stick, sugar, salt, lemon juice, and water to cover. Bring to a boil and cook 8 minutes, or until tender. Drain carrots in a colander set over the bowl with raisins to soak.
When liquid has cooled down, drain the raisins and mix with the carrots and orange flower water. Pack into a small bowl large enough to hold all carrot raisin mixture, or 2 1/2- 3″ rounded molds, and chill overnight, covered with plastic wrap.
To serve remove/invert mold onto a plate.

Notes

This dish is served at Al Fassia restaurant in Marrakech. Recipe adapted from Paula Wolfert's cookbook, The Food of Morocco.
