About the Recipe: The carrots can be served as a starter, salad, or side dish.  The spicy flavor is unique with lots of cumin and paprika. Shimi told us that this dish was popular and kept in the refrigerator for a quick snack in his house. It’s very easy to make and adjust the spices as desired.  Some people enjoy adding some ground red pepper for additional heat.    

Recipe adapted from: Chef Shimi Aaron

Cook’s Note: For a stronger spice flavor, the original recipe doubled the ingredient amounts.  I halved the spices and added a sweet pear for a contrasting sweet flavor addition.

Toss Carrots with Oil: Add spiced oil and lemon juice to the carrots in the bowl; toss together to coat; season as desired; toss in chopped pears to coat with seasoning. Before serving, toss in chopped parsley or cilantro.

Serves: 4 to 6  Can be served warm or chilled.
