Moroccan Spiced Carrot Slaw

The Super Bowl is a great excuse to eat like crap. Burgers, pizzas, chicken wings, fries, chips… you name it. So it’s time to go back to a healthy and delicious diet. The new issue of Food & Drinks by LCBO has this wonderful and easy-to-make recipe. I tried it, and I liked it, so I am sharing it.

It serves approximately 4-6.

Ingredients:

• 2 lbs (1 kg) carrots, peeled and julienned or shredded

• 1/2 tsp grated garlic

• salt
• 1/2 cup raisins
• 2 tbsp dill, chopped

1. In a frying pan, put cumin, paprika, cinnamon and cayenne in on small to medium heat. Toast for 1 to 2 mins until fragrant. Remove from the heat.

3. In a big bowl, add julienned or shredded carrots, the spiced oil, lemon juice, and toss.
