HARISSA POMEGRANATE ROASTED CARROTS

November 17, 2020 by Lovoni | Leave a Comment

Print Friendly, PDF & Email

Carrots, not overly exciting unless you’re a rabbit, but roast them and they’re transformed into sweet, earthy goodness. Harissa Pomegranate Roasted Carrots tossed in honey and scattered with pomegranate arils and pistachios makes such a festive and completely delicious side dish. To make the dish really quick to prep, buy pomegranate seeds and pistachios already prepped.

Harissa is a chili paste from North Africa – Morocco, Tunisia, Algeria – all countries who use this boldly flavored paste in their cuisine. I like it hot so I’ve used a few tablespoons. If you’re a little wimpy when it comes to chilies, then use half as much. Harissa certainly isn’t as hot as other chili paste or fresh chilies, such as jalapenos. You can buy the paste in many grocery stores or on Amazon for about five bucks.

Thankfully, you can now buy pistachio nuts already shelled. Granted they cost a bit more but that’s a laborious task if you’re shelling them – one for the bowl, one for me, one for the bowl, one for me. That’s how I shell them.

Thankfully too, you can also buy pomegranate arils/seeds in handy little containers in most supermarkets. I don’t mind fossicking for the seeds in all the little pomegranate caves but it makes a huge mess of my white kitchen and makes a quick and easy recipe more laborious than it needs to be.

These are really good served cold, chopped up in a salad too if you happen to have any leftovers. Serve with a drizzle of yogurt, cold or hot…mmmm, that would be delicious. Can you tell I’m hungry? A big salad for dinns tonight, including some of these carrots and some roasted beets. Chat to you soon, Lovoni xo

PS. If you’re after another wonderful holiday side then try this Sticky Sage Roasted Butternut Squash recipe.

If pasta isn’t your schtick, just make the sauce and have the sauce & chicken over rice or if you’re wanting to go lighter on the carbs, serve the sauce & the chicken over broccoli just like I’m doing tonight. A chicken dinner winner 🤣🤣🤣. I’ve been absent for a couple of weeks so needed a shit joke to kick-off being back.

Studio makeover. My studio needed a makeover & new Studio makeover. My studio needed a makeover & new windowsills after some water damage last year (we had to get the roof replaced). So it seemed like a good time to turn my studio into a more inspiring room that matched the rest of the house. I have props in cupboards around the house but wanted the ones I use the most in the studio. I used the top of a hutch (cupboard) I already had from @summerhousefarm & the bottom from @oldetymemarketplace. 
Still a few things to do but back at it tomorrow. I’m going to try and share the ‘before’ otherwise I’ll share it in my stories.
