TUNISIAN CARROT SALAD WITH HARISSA



Tunisian Carrot Salad With Harissa image

I like this salad because the carrots are sliced, not mashed - and has a more authentic feel because the spiciness comes from harissa rather than cayenne, as most recipes on this site use. From The Essential Mediterranean Cookbook - one of my favorites! This is meant to be served warm, but we like it cold, too.

Categories     Vegetable

Time 20m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 lb carrot, peeled and thinly sliced
3 tablespoons flat leaf parsley, minced
1 teaspoon cumin, ground
1/3 cup olive oil
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
2 garlic cloves
1/4 teaspoon harissa (see my The Essential Harissa)
12 black olives
2 hard-boiled eggs, quartered

Steps:

  • In a saucepan, bring 2 cups water to a boil. Add the carrot and cook until tender. Drain and transfer to a bowl.
  • In a small bowl, combine the parsley, cumin, olive oil, vinegar and garlic. Season with harissa, salt and pepper to taste. You can double the harissa if you like things hot and spicy! Pour over the carrots and mix gently to combine.
  • To serve, place the carrots in a serving dish and garnish with the olives and eggs.
  • NOTE: if the carrots aren't sweet, you can add a touch of honey to the dressing.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh, ripe carrots. Look for carrots that are firm and have a deep orange color.
  • If you don't have time to roast the carrots, you can boil them instead. Just be sure to drain them well before adding them to the salad.
  • Feel free to adjust the amount of garlic and cumin to your taste. If you like a spicier salad, add more cumin. If you prefer a milder flavor, use less garlic.
  • This salad is best served fresh, but it can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Tunisian Ajlouke de Carottes Salad is a delicious and healthy salad that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a new salad to try, give this one a try!
