| which carrots are homegrown? |
I would have to agree with my anonymous critic that this salad is very delicious. It wraps the lightly crunch carrot slices in a rich, aromatic blend of spices that complements their sweet earthiness. And today's version was made with 50% homegrown carrots! Our gnarly tubers have roots only a mother could love, but they still taste delicious.
Once peeled and sliced into coins, the carrots are blanched until still a little crunchy and cooled. They are then tossed with sauteed onions and a laundry-list of spices including cloves, coriander, cinnamon, cumin and paprika. Smelling great already! The real coup de grâce is the preserved lemon, an amazing ingredient that delivers a subtle lemon tang but with a twist. Finally, lots (and lots) of cilantro and a dollop of greek yogurt.
