4 medium-sized carrots
1/4 cup golden raisins
2 tablespoons white granulated sugar
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon vanilla sugar (optional)
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
A pinch of salt
Boiling water

RECIPE:
1- Peel the carrots, trim off the top, cut in half lengthwise, and remove the hard core. Slice each half in two, then cut into 0.5 cm (1/4-inch) dice.
2- Place the carrots in a saucepan and cover with boiling water. Add a pinch of salt, cover the saucepan, and cook on medium heat until the carrots are crisp-tender.
