Moroccan Cooked Carrot Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Place the carrots in a steamer above 1 inch of boiling water, cover and steam 5 to 8 minutes, until tender. Remove from the heat, rinse with cold water, and drain on paper towels.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large, heavy skillet and add the garlic and cumin. Cook, stirring, for about 30 seconds, until the garlic smells fragrant, and stir in the carrots, pepper, and salt to taste. Stir together for a few minutes, until the carrots are nicely seasoned. Remove from the heat and stir in the lemon juice, remaining olive oil, and the parsley. Taste and adjust salt and lemon juice as desired. Transfer to a platter, and decorate with olives and hard-boiled eggs if desired. Serve at room temperature.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the carrots and boil until tender, about 15 minutes. Let cool slightly, then slice into 1/2-inch coins.
• In a large bowl, whisk the olive oil, harissa, garlic, lemon juice, 3/4 teaspoon salt and some pepper. Toss with the carrots to coat, then toss with the cilantro and parsley. Sprinkle with the sesame seeds and serve warm or at room temp, or refrigerate until ready to serve.

Steps:

• Cook carrots in two cups water covered until just tender (approximately 6 minutes). In a medium sized bowl, mix cayenne, cumin, honey and lemon juice. Whisk in olive oil. Drain excess water (if any) and toss warm carrots with vinaigrette. Season with salt and pepper. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Grate carrots.
• Drizzle carrots with olive oil to coat.

Steps:

• Bring 2 large pots of water to boil. Add the carrots and cook just until tender, about 8 minutes. Drain and set aside. Meanwhile, add the Swiss chard to the second pot of water and blanch for 5 minutes. Drain and immediately plunge into a bowl of cold water. Drain, press out all of the water, chop coarsely and set aside.
• Whisk together remaining ingredients except salt and pepper. Add the carrots and Swiss chard and toss. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours before serving.

Steps:

• Put the carrots and garlic in a saucepan with enough water to just cover. Add a little salt and bring to the boil. Simmer briskly for 5-7 minutes until tender but not soft.
• Drain, then tip into a mixing bowl. Crush the garlic cloves and add them to the carrots. Stir in the oil, vinegar, cumin, paprika and 1 tablespoon of the cilantro while still hot. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Transfer to a serving dish and sprinkle over the rest of the cilantro. Serve hot, cold or at room temperature depending on what you're serving with it.
