Instructions
Wash produce before use
1
Prep and cook the carrots
- Scrub or peel the carrots and trim the ends; cut the carrots in half lengthwise, then on the diagonal into 2-inch lengths.
Stir in ¼ cup [⅓ cup] white wine (from your pantry) or water and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the carrots are tender and lightly browned, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and season to taste with salt and pepper. Meanwhile, prepare the lamb merguez patties.
2
Prep and cook the lamb merguez patties
- Cut a small corner from the ground lamb packaging and drain off any excess liquid. Transfer to a plate; pat dry with a paper towel.
- Coarsely chop the cilantro; set aside half for the carrot salad.
In another large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 tablespoons oil until hot but not smoking. Working in batches if needed, add the patties and cook, turning once, until browned and cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes per side for medium. Transfer to a plate. Add more oil between batches if needed. While the patties are cooking, start preparing the rest of the meal.
3
Prep the almonds; make the dressing and carrot salad
- Coarsely chop the almonds for garnish.
In a large bowl, toss together the carrots, arugula, raisins, remaining cilantro, and half the lemon-tahini dressing (set aside the remaining dressing for serving). Season to taste with salt and pepper.
