Tunisian Carrot Salad (Omek Houria)
Mashed carrots with harissa, cumin, and a generous pour of oil. Tunisian comfort food that works warm or cold. It's basically the carrot version of hummus, and just as addictive.

Paprika-Swirled Hummus
Store-bought hummus doesn't have to taste store-bought. A swirl of oil and a dusting of paprika fixes that. Takes 30 seconds and makes you look like you know what you're...
