Taste Memory: Moroccan Carrot Salad

[gnomi]

I woke up this morning with a taste in my mind -- Moroccan carrot salad. The one I'm most familiar with is the one from (the late, somewhat lamented) Zaatar's Oven.

Local Boston kosher and kosher-friendly folks who remember Zaatar's, am I the only one that remembers this salad so fondly?

I'm now seeking Morrocan carrot salad recipes, trying to recreate it from my sense-memory. I've found a couple of contenders, but if someone out there has a Moroccan carrot salad recipe they especially recommend, please do point me there.

Okay, here we go, from Claudia Roden's The Book of Jewish Food

Salade de Carottes Rapees, Moroccan Grated Carrot Salad
1 lb finely grated carrots
juice of 1 lemon or more
salt & pepper
4 tbsp evoo
3 tbsp chopped flat-leaf parsley or coriander

Dress the carrots with lemon juice, salt, pepper, and olive oil and mix in the flat-leafed parsley or coriander.
Variation: you may add 2 crushed garlic cloves, the juice of 1 orange, or 1 tbsp sugar.

That's pretty simple.

That sounds lovely and easy! Thanks!
