And a side of carrots!
Hmm, that doesn’t sound very exciting, does it? Here’s the thing: I got a mandolin slicer, I had a huge bag of carrots, and I wanted to play. Enough said.
To make the pretty design in the carrots, just score down 4 sides of each carrot and cut a small sliver out. If you don’t have a mandolin, feel free to cut with a plain ol’ knife!
This doesn’t really merit a recipe as such because it’s so easy. The carrots (2) are raw, tossed in a dressing of garlic (mucho, mucho!), a pinch of fenugreek powder, and and a pinch of cumin. I simply fried the dressing ingredients in a little bit of olive oil before tossing in the carrots. It’s very yummy. Very, very yummy. And so easy!
And boy is this a short entry. Enjoy your carrots (a vegetable that is usually so much better raw than cooked).

I’m a new reader and a follower of yours on Twitter. This blog inspired me to try something similar with carrots. I don’t really like them raw, so I cooked them in a bit of olive oil, lots of garlic, and a little rosemary. Right before they were done, I added some parmesan cheese. Very yummy, and a good way to get myself to eat carrots! thanks for the inspiration!
