Preparation method

How do you make this?

Preparation of the carrots: Preheat the oven to 200°C.

Peel the carrots and slice half of them into rounds.

Place the carrot rounds on a baking sheet, as close together as possible.

Mix the finely chopped chili pepper with the honey, olive oil, pepper, and salt. Brush this mixture over the carrots.

Roast the carrots in the oven for about 20 minutes, or until nicely caramelized.

Preparation of the couscous: Place the semolina in a bowl and pour the boiling chicken broth over it.

Cover the bowl with a plate and let it rest for 5 minutes.

Fluff the couscous with a fork until it is nice and airy.

Assemble the salad: Chop and dice all remaining ingredients (pomegranate, pistachios, coriander, cucumbers, tomatoes) and place them on top of the couscous.

Add the roasted carrot rounds and crumbled feta.

Drizzle the salad with olive oil, lemon juice, and zest.

Season with black pepper and fleur de sel.

Mix everything well and serve immediately.

Tips

You can also prepare the grilled carrots for a later moment, prep it like it's hot 🙂
