Steps:
- Put the carrots in the bowl of a food processor and pulse until finely chopped.

POTATO AND CASCABEL-CRUSTED HALIBUT WITH MANGO-CARROT BROTH AND MANGO-GREEN ONION SALSA
Steps:
- In a medium saucepan over high heat, combine the juices, fennel, coriander and chile and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer 20 minutes, or until reduced by half. Strain through a fine strainer and season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Mango-Green Onion Salsa: Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl and season with salt and pepper.
- Halibut: Season the fillet on both sides, to taste, with salt and pepper. Cover the flesh side with a thin layer of the shredded potatoes, pressing down so it adheres, and sprinkle with the chile powder. Heat the olive oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat until it begins to smoke. Cook the fillets, potato-side down, until the potatoes are lightly browned and cooked through, about 2 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium, turn the fillets, and cook until done to taste, about 3 to 4 minutes. Pour the mango-carrot broth into a large serving bowl and arrange the fillets in the bowl. Top each fillet with mango-green onion salsa and serve any remaining salsa on the side.
POTATO AND CARROT SALSA

This hearty salsa has the earthy undertones of oregano, yet the tang of freshly squeezed orange juice. It is a superb accompaniment for any meat dish, as well as enchiladas and tostadas.

POTATO AND CARROT MASH
I ate this often growing up, or some variation of it. My mom would always add things to the mashed potatoes if we were running low on potatoes - mostly carrots, but sometimes even turnip. The bits of carrot stay a little firmer than the potatoes, so you get little pops of sweetness in every bite.
