Salad
A traditional, delicious, & spreadable spicy carrot salad that’s perfect as an appetizer or side dish. We highly recommend garnishing with traditional toppings such as olives, pickles, or boiled egg slices but you can certainly go crazy with whatever toppings come to mind!
Ingredients
1.5 lbs, Carrots, cut and cleaned
2-3 tbsp, Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1.5 tbsp, Harissa Paste
3-4 Garlic Cloves, minced
1 tsp, Coriander
1 tsp, Salt
0.5 tsp, Caraway
Egg, Soft Boiled and Cut into 4 pieces (Optional)
Olives & Pickles, Washed (Optional)
Directions
Wash, peel, and cut the carrots into 1-1.5 inch pieces. Add them to a pot with 1 cup of water. Throw in the garlic cloves (or mince them and save them to the end for a more intense garlic flavor). Cover and allow at least 30 to 40 minutes of cooking time.
Once the cooking of the carrots and garlic is complete, carefully transfer them to a bowl and begin mashing while still hot using a fork, a mashing tool, or a food processor.
Add the harissa paste, minced garlic, extra virgin olive oil, coriander, caraway, salt and continue mashing until you achieve a smooth consistency.
Serve in a bowl or plate, garnish with olives, pickles, or even hard boiled egg slices the traditional way or with whatever else you want. Enjoy!
