Categories     side-dish

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 large carrots, peeled
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon sweet paprika
Pinch of ground cinnamon
Pinch of ground cayenne
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 small clove garlic, grated or very finely minced
1/2 cup packed fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves, roughly chopped
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Harissa

Steps:

  • 1. Using a mandoline slicer or very sharp knife, very thinly slice the carrots on the diagonal about 1/16 inch thick and put them in a bowl.
  • 2. Put the cumin, paprika, cinnamon and cayenne in a small dry skillet over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring frequently, until the spices are fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the oil and swirl the pan to mix. Add the lemon juice and swirl the pan; when the mixture begins to bubble, add the garlic and cook, swirling the pan, for 15 to 20 seconds, until the dressing is very hot. Pour the hot dressing over the carrots and toss with a large rubber spatula until the carrots are evenly coated and have absorbed the dressing. Add the parsley, season with salt and pepper, and toss until combined.
  • 3. Serve at room temperature, with harissa, or refrigerate until ready to serve.

Provided by Michael Solomonov

Categories     side-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 large carrots, peeled
2 cups water
kosher salt
1/4 cup orange juice
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon ground Aleppo pepper
1 clove garlic
1/4 cup olive oil
Fresh mint
fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Put carrots in a large, deep skillet and barely cover with water. Season with a pinch of salt. Cook over medium-high heat until the carrots begin to soften, 10-12 minutes.
  • Remove the carrots and set aside, reserving the cooking liquid in the skillet. To the liquid, add the orange juice, lemon juice, cumin, and pepper. Smash a garlic clove, discard the peel, and add to the cooking liquid. Bring to a simmer and reduce until syrupy, 10 minutes. Meanwhile, when the carrots are cool enough to handle, cut into rustic chunks and set aside in a bowl.
  • Remove syrupy mixture from heat and add olive oil; shake it around in the skillet to create a vinaigrette. Discard the garlic and spoon the vinaigrette over the carrots. Garnish with torn mint and cilantro. Toss and serve.
