Tunisian Ajlouke De Carottes (Salad) image

This is a traditional Tunisian recipe for a classic salad of cooked carrots and potatoes that are mashed and mixed with garlic, cumin, olive oil, white wine vinegar and cayenne pepper. This dish looks more like a carrot purée that you would serve as side, but in Tunisia it is served as a starter.
