Ingredients

  • 10 medium carrots
  • ¼ cup parsley, chopped finely
  • 1 tablespoon harissa or make the dressing below - check how spicy it is before adding it
  • 3 garlic cloves, crushed
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin
  • 2 tablespoons harissa (or 1 teaspoon sweet paprika and ½ teaspoon hot paprika infused in 2 tablespoons canola or olive oil)
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • salt

Instructions

  • Cut the carrots in half and steam them for 4 minutes. Pierce them gently with a sharp knife. You should feel a slight resistant. If the resistant is too strong, steam for 2 more minutes. Remove from the heat and wash with cold water.
  • If you have harissa, great! If you don't, mix the paprikas and oil in a small mixing bowl.
  • Slice the carrots and put in a medium bowl. Add harissa (or paprika oil), garlic, parsley, lemon juice, cumin and salt, and toss. Serve or store in a container in the fridge up to 5 days.
