MOROCCAN SALAD OF RAW GRATED CARROTS/CITRUS CINNAMON DRESSING



Moroccan Salad of Raw Grated Carrots/Citrus Cinnamon Dressing image

Recipe comes from Mediterranean Fresh by Joyce Goldstein. Her directions are confusing about the cooking of the carrots. What she exactly writes is "For carrots with a bit more body and texture, you need to cook them briefly, as they are not porous enough to absorb the flavors of a salad dressing. For optimum flavor, dress carrots while they are still warm. You may warm the grated carrots in the dressing or serve as is." I am thinking (big thinker here) maybe 2 minutes? I also think buying those already grated carrots would be mighty handy. Use only 1/4 cup of the dressing, and use the remainder of the dressing for a beet, orange, and greens salad.

MOROCCAN CARROTS



MOROCCAN CARROTS image

Categories     Carrot

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 medium carrots (3/4 pound), thinly sliced on a mandoline
1 cup fresh orange juice
1/4 cup water
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Large pinch of sugar
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Salt

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan of boiling salted water, cook the carrots for 1 minute. Drain. 2. In a large skillet, combine the carrots with the orange juice, water, coriander, cumin and cinnamon and simmer over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until just tender, about 10 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the sugar and the butter. Season the carrots with salt and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right carrots: Look for carrots that are firm, smooth, and have a deep orange color. Avoid carrots that are wilted, cracked, or have brown spots.
  • Peel and cut the carrots evenly: This will help them cook evenly. If you are using baby carrots, you can leave them whole.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot: This will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the carrots from burning.
  • Add the right amount of liquid: You want enough liquid to cover the carrots, but not so much that they are swimming in it.
  • Season the carrots well: Salt, pepper, and cumin are all good options. You can also add other spices, such as paprika, ginger, or coriander.
  • Cook the carrots until they are tender: This will take about 10 minutes if you are using baby carrots, or 15-20 minutes if you are using larger carrots.
  • Serve the carrots hot or cold: Moroccan carrots are a versatile dish that can be served as a side dish, a main course, or even a snack.

Conclusion:

Moroccan carrots are a delicious and healthy dish that is easy to make. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a dish that is sure to impress your family and friends. So next time you are looking for a new and exciting way to prepare carrots, give Moroccan carrots a try. You won't be disappointed!
