Ingredients

  • 1 large lemon, washed, sliced into thin rounds, and then quartered
  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus extra for lemons
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 2 pinches cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon orange zest, plus 1/4 cup orange juice
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 8 medium carrots, peeled and grated (about 4 cups)
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 2 tablespoons toasted pine nuts

Directions

Place the lemon pieces in a cold skillet. Add a generous amount of oil to cover the bottom of the pan and heat over low heat until the rinds soften and begin to brown and caramelize, about 20 minutes.

In a large bowl, add the cumin, cinnamon, ginger, cayenne, orange zest, orange juice, salt, and pepper. While whisking, pour 1/4 cup olive oil in a thin stream until the dressing reaches your desired consistency. Add the carrots, parsley, and pine nuts. Remove the caramelized lemon to the bowl using a slotted spoon. Toss and taste for seasoning. Drizzle in some of the lemon infused oil, to taste.

Store in the refrigerator until serving time.

    This was very delicious. I didnt have pine nuts and it definitely needed the crunch factor. I had some sliced almonds so I used them. The carmelized lemons are a wonderful touch. I think that was the best part. Will make this again!

    It was okay. A little bitter for me, but I will try it again. The next time though, I will add more lemon juice, and a little less cumin and ginger. I loved the carrots and the roasted lemons though.

    Good use of carrots. Holds up well in the fridge. A little bit will do you.
