In Yiddish, the word tsimmes often describes a messy situation. Add sweet potatoes or dried fruit, if you like, to this flavorful "mess."

Ingredients

Directions

Put the raisins in a bowl, add hot water to cover and soak for 10 minutes. Drain, reserving the raisin water.

In a large saucepan over medium heat, warm the oil. Add the onions and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the carrots, honey, lemon zest, raisin water and enough stock to cover the carrots. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer until the carrots are tender, 10 to 15 minutes. You may need to add a bit more stock from time to time. During the last 5 minutes of cooking, add the raisins. Season with salt and pepper and transfer to a serving dish. Serves 12.
