If you throw a couple of cracked cardamoms and some whole cumin into 
the steamer, they'll give the carrots a really nice aroma, without 
being too much of a flavour hit. (It's important to use alliterative 
ingredients, doncherknow...)

And if you've got lamb with apricots, that's a fantastic excuse to do 
something with sumac, which'll give it a sharp, tangy lift. Although 
I'm not sure how you'd squeeze it in there.

As for other veggies:  Maybe some cracked wheat with lemon juice, which 
could also go in the steamer. Lamb 'n' apricots is a bit of a North 
African thing, so it'd give you some consistency there...
