INGREDIENTS

1. 1 pound carrots, peeled and finely grated
2. 1 cup and 2 tablespoons sugar
3. 2 cups low-fat milk
4. 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
5. 2 teaspoons grated lemon peel
6. 2 tablespoons butter
7. 2 tablespoons flour
8. Pine nuts
9. Pistachios
10. Almonds
11. Raisins

Method:

1. Steam the carrots with the sugar, milk, cardamom, and lemon peel for about 15 minutes, until the carrots are tender. Pour into a sieve, pressing firmly on the carrots to remove all the liquid. Set the liquid aside.
2. Melt the butter in a saucepan and stir in the flour. Add the carrots, stirring to coat with the flour mixture, and toss for 3 or 4 minutes.
3. Pour the reserved liquid over the carrots, mix well, and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Pour into individual serving dishes and garnish with pine nuts, pistachios, almonds, and raisins.
