Spiced Carrots With Apricots

• 4 cups:baby carrots (or small-cut carrots) steamed yet a little firm
• 1 onion:chopped
• 1 cup:dried apricots chopped up
• 3 to 4 tablespoons:oil (for frying)
• 1/4 cup:brown sugar
• about 1/2 cup:water
• salt and:pepper

Preparation

1. In a frying pan, fry up onions with oil (and garlic if you choose to use it) until the onions are soft.
2. Add the spices, sugar, and apricots to the pan.
3. When the sugar has been absorbed, add the water so it's like a sauce and has a little liquid to cook in.
4. Add the carrots (they should be steamed a little before hand so they cook faster), and cook for a few minutes.
5. Stir with the sauce, until they are covered nicely and a little brown.
6. Serves: 4 to 6
