Step 1
First, prepare all ingredients. Choose bright orange carrots—they are sweet and juicy, making the dish rich and flavorful.
Step 2
Peel carrots and onions. Rinse and pat them dry with a kitchen towel to remove moisture.

Step 3
Slice the onions into thin strips and grate the carrots using a coarse grater. You can also cut carrots into thin sticks or use a julienne slicer. Don’t grate them too finely to avoid mushiness.
Step 4
Heat a little vegetable or olive oil in a skillet. Add the carrots and sauté over medium heat, stirring for 1–2 minutes until slightly softened.
Step 5
Add the onions, sprinkle lightly with salt, and cook until they become golden.

Step 6
Add tomato paste diluted with water. Use more or less water depending on your desired sauce thickness. You may use tomato juice or ketchup instead. Season with salt, pepper, a pinch of sugar, and your favorite spices.
Step 7
Stir, cover with a lid, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 10–15 minutes. Stir occasionally. If too much liquid remains at the end, remove the lid and let it evaporate over higher heat.
Step 8
Serve hot or cold, garnished with fresh herbs.
