Harissa carrots - mogador style
Rated 5.0 stars by 1 users
These carrots are inspired by one of my favorite restaurants in NYC, Cafe Mogador. Mogador was the first place I ate at when I moved to NYC and is one of the only restaurants I have continued to go to since. And that says A LOT because I have a very serious case of restaurant FOMO in NYC (fear of missing out on new spots and classic establishments). Yup, Mogador is super special to me. I always get Moroccan carrots when I’m there, so of course I had to recreate them at home. They’re simple and light yet so flavorful. Eat your heart out.
