How to Make Algerian Zrodiya Mcharmla Carrots With Vinegar

  1. Wash and peel 1 pound of carrots (or 2 medium zucchini/potatoes).
  2. Cut the carrots (or zucchini/potatoes) into 1/2-inch thick slices or sticks.
  3. In a medium saucepan, combine the carrots (or zucchini/potatoes) with 1 cup of white wine vinegar, 1/2 cup water, 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons of sugar, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.
  4. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
  5. Remove from heat and let the carrots (or zucchini/potatoes) cool slightly in the vinegar mixture. This allows them to absorb more of the flavor.
  6. Transfer the carrots (or zucchini/potatoes) to a serving dish. You can optionally garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro before serving.
  7. Serve warm or cold as a side dish or appetizer. Enjoy!
