How to Make Sweet Sour Carrot Compote With Cumin

  1. Peel and grate the carrots using a box grater.
  2. Finely chop the onion into small dice.
  3. Heat a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and toast for about 1 minute, or until fragrant, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
  4. Add the honey, apple cider vinegar, turmeric, salt, and pepper to the saucepan. Stir well to combine until the honey is slightly melted and the spices are incorporated.
  5. Add the grated carrots and chopped onions to the saucepan. Stir to combine everything evenly.
  6. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the carrots are tender and the onions are soft and translucent. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  7. Remove from heat and let the compote cool slightly before transferring it to an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld. This also allows the compote to thicken.
  8. Serve chilled or at room temperature as a delicious accompaniment to cheese and charcuterie boards, roast pork, poultry, or ham. Enjoy!
