Very thinly sliced carrots get dressed with a spice-infused oil, garlic, and lemon mixture that’s a tasty mix of sweet and heat. It’s divine, and it’s ready in less than less than 20 minutes. Toasting the spices enhances their flavor and aroma. Harissa is a common North African ingredient made from chile peppers that gives this dish a spicy kick. Here we’ve used dried harissa to provide the flavor without the added moisture. Flat-leaf parsley has broad leaves and a bold, aromatic flavor. Look for bunches that show no signs for wilting or yellowing. The fresh parsley is tossed in at the end for added color and because heat can diminish its flavor.
