![]() Pan fried bass with a white wine, shallot, preserved lemon reduction sauce and spiced carrots. I dusted the bass with white rice flour and did a quick shallow fry in butter. Lucky me I have two pieces leftover. https://flic.kr/p/nX6Yd5 Here's the spiced carrots recipe. @@@@@ Now You're Cooking! Export Format Spicy Moroccan Carrot Salad salads/dressing 2 lbs carrots 1/3 cup olive oil, plus extra to finish 1 medium onion; finely chopped 1 tsp sugar 3 garlic cloves; crushed 2 medium green chiles; finely chopped 1 green onion; finely chopped 1/8 tsp ground cloves 1/4 tsp ground ginger 1/2 tsp ground coriander 3/4 tsp ground cinnamon 1 tsp sweet paprika 1 tsp ground cumin Salt 1 tbsp white wine vinegar 1 tbsp preserved lemon; chopped 2 1/2 cups cilantro leaves; chopped plus more for garnish 1/2 cup greek yogurt, chilled Peel the carrots and cut them, depending on their size, into cylinders or semicircles 1/2 inch thick; all the pieces should end up roughly the same size. Place in a large saucepan and cover with salted water. Bring to the boil, then turn down the heat and simmer for about 10 minutes or until tender but still crunchy. Drain in a colander and leave to dry out. Heat the oil in a large pan and sauté the onion for 12 minutes on a medium heat until soft and slightly brown. Add the cooked carrots to the onion, followed by all the remaining ingredients, apart from the cilantro and yogurt. Remove from the heat. Season liberally with salt, stir well and leave to cool. Before serving, stir in the cilantro, taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Serve in individual bowls with a dollop of yogurt, a drizzle of oil and garnished with the extra cilantro. There are countless variations on this gutsy salad, all incorporating sweet spices, fresh herbs and some sort of lemony kick. My version is intense and will go well as one component in a feast of Middle Eastern salads, or just to accompany fried fish. You can serve it warm, as well as cold, with Freekeh Pilaf for instance.

Depends, looks like those prepeeled "baby" carrots stewed with other ingredients... I'd need to see the recipe before making an assessment but I really don't like those baby carrots, they're tasteless... however I will say that I'd serve carrots prepared like that in a separate bowl, they may be delicious but served together they don't compliment visually. I'd like to know what's that thingie sticking out on the right from under the fish? Were I serving guests I'd not have all those chopped up green onions all over the fish, a lot of people don't like onions, especially not on fish... I'd have used a parsley sprig and a lemon wedge for garnish... but of course Koko didn't invite me, she ate it all herself! LOL The fish looks good, were it me I'd have it with tartar sauce blended with horseradish, carrots are okay but I'd prefer fish with creamy cole slaw... and were I pan frying fish I'd also pan fry a mess of latkes to accompany... why dirty a second pot just for carrots. Good job, Koko. I just finished preparing a 4lb package of boneless skinless chicken breasts that are on sale at $1.99/lb all this month... trimmed them well and sliced each into three cutlets... trimmings went out for the crows. Prepped some well seasoned Wondra flour and dredged them, tomorrow I'll saute them and perhaps serve with brussel sprouts, and pasta with sauce I prepared and is in my freezer. That's the plan but can always be tweaked. Been raining like for Noah's ark, I hate it. |

Most times I will trim then and cut into decent size cubes and portion them into FoodSaver bags to be vacuumed sealed. They're great prepared in rice or when I make chicken and dressing to take to work. The cubed chicken also goes into the dressing mixture and cooked that way and almost a bite of chicken in every forkful of dressing. |

My recipes are much simpler and I'm fine with them. G. |

I bought four of the family size packages (~4 lbs) and will buy four more. I slice them all into cutlets, I can always cube those. I like to clean them as soon as I bring them home, cut out all the lumps of fat and that bloody spot... that all gets fed to the crows. |

I wouldn't put that much effort into carrots nor would I assemble all those ingredients to cook carrots. You like to cook things like that. Good for you! I'm sure I'd love the pan fried bass, although it wasn't as well browned in the butter as I'd have done. I do like the meal idea. Jill |

My recipes are much simpler and I'm fine with them. Exactly what I thought, and I don't even like several of those ingredients; cilantro/soap, and can live without the yogurt. I do like candied carrots but not with nearly so many ingredients... I want the carrots to be the main event. I never liked middle eastern cooking anyway, to me it's a lot of TIAD. I like orange glazed carrots, I use kumquats when I can find them... add some fresh ginger. http://tinyurl.com/n2ysple |

Seems if they're not agreeing with you then you get a carrot stuck up your ass along with an attitude. Menopause??? BTW, you need to remove your tagline about love; with you it's obviously an out and out lie. |

I have to agree with Gordon Ramsey on this; keep it simple and a dozen different ingredients in one dish doesn't make it fabulous. Looks to me like she was trying to disguise the flavor of cooked carrots (can't blame her for that). With this much stuff all you're doing is masking the taste of the carrots. That being said, I agree with Sheldon on the cilantro/soap ingredient and Jill about not caring for them cooked; about the only way I'll eat a cooked carrot is when it's in a soup or maybe around a roast and ain't crazy about them with a roast. Love them raw eaten out of hand, in a salad, or carrot salad though. |

Maybe if she stuck that carrot up the hole two inches over her disposition would sweeten. You should see how happy sf is when she takes a leak: http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2011/...73_634x423.jpg |
