1/4 cup olive oil
1 bunch medium carrots, grated
For tapenade
1 1/4 cups green olives (6 to 7 oz) such as Cerignola or picholine, pitted

Prepare carrots:
Whisk together sugar, lemon juice, spices, salt, and oil in a large bowl until sugar is dissolved.  Add grated carrots, then marinate, covered and chilled, at least 4 hours.  Make tapenade and assemble sandwiches:
Pulse olives with capers, parsley, anchovy, zest, lemon juice, and pepper in a food processor until coarsely chopped, add oil in a slow stream and continue to pulse until mixture is finely chopped (do not pulse to a paste).  Spread tapenade on 6 slices of bread and goat cheese on remaining 6 slices, then make sandwiches with carrots.
