Authentic Algerian Carrots Recipe for Dinner

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 4 medium carrots (peeled and sliced)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon cumin seeds (lightly toasted)
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 clove garlic (minced)
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 1 teaspoon salt (to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Prepare the Carrots

    Peel and slice the carrots into thin rounds.

    Ensure the slices are uniform for even cooking.
  2. Cook the Carrots

    In a pot, bring water to a boil, add carrots, and cook for 5-7 minutes until tender.

    Do not overcook; they should remain slightly crisp.
  3. Drain the Carrots

    Drain the cooked carrots and set aside.

    Rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process.
  4. Make the Dressing

    In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, cumin seeds, paprika, minced garlic, lemon juice, and salt.

    Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning if necessary.
  5. Combine and Serve

    Add the drained carrots to the dressing and toss to coat evenly. Garnish with parsley.

    Let the dish sit for at least 10 minutes for flavors to meld.
