Spicy Carrot Hash

Louise | July 3

It’s another evening after crossfit and the perpetual question of “what to eat” crosses my mind yet again!  I had some tuna fish salad for lunch (packed in my handy pyrex containers), and now it was time to make a decision about dinner.  I had ropa vieja (shredded beef) in the fridge, cooked the day before in the slow cooker (recipe here), but I wanted something to go with it.  As I scanned the contents of my fridge, my eyes fell on the carrots.  Carrot hash…simple…quick…yum (especially when spiced with both paprika and cumin)!carrots


Place the carrots into a food processor with the shredding disc attachment and shred away!

Then, place 1 tablespoon of coconut oil into a frying pan and add a tablespoon of freshly grated ginger.  Talk about aromatherapy!  My entire apartment filled with the stimulating scent of ginger.  Add in the carrots after you’ve finished enjoying the smell of ginger.

Let the carrots cook on a medium to high heat for around 10 minutes.  Stir continuously to prevent it from burning!  When the shredded carrots look pretty dry and don’t clump together much, add in the cumin seeds (2 teaspoons), paprika (2 tablespoons), and salt (to taste).

It’s funny that it says “Prep time: 5 minutes Cooking time: 10 minutes and the total time is 13 minutes.
That aside, I will try the recipe. Looks good.

I think the spices were a bit too overpowering and took
away from that amazing carrot/ginger/coconut oil fragrance. I may
try this again sometime and experiment with less
seasoning.

    Thanks – I like a bit too much spice at times :). It’s definitely great with less spice too!
