How to Make Moroccan Carrot Salad Dip

  1. Peel and chop 1 pound of carrots into 1-inch pieces.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine the chopped carrots with 2 cloves of minced garlic and 1 teaspoon of salt. Add enough water to cover the carrots (about 1 cup).
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the carrots are tender.
  4. Drain the carrots well, reserving about 1/4 cup of the cooking liquid.
  5. Transfer the cooked carrots to a bowl and roughly mash them using a fork or potato masher. Leave some texture for a more appealing dip.
  6. Stir in 1/4 cup of chopped cilantro, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon of ground cumin, 1/4 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and a pinch of red pepper flakes (optional).
  7. Add a tablespoon or two of the reserved cooking liquid to adjust the consistency to your liking. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Serve immediately or chill for later. Garnish with extra cilantro before serving.
