Algerian Grated Carrot Salad with Orange and Cumin (Cold Chouchouka Reinvented)
Looking for a fresh and fragrant Algerian starter? This grated carrot salad with orange and cumin is a reinvented version of cold chouchouka, a classic on Algerian tables. The typical spices of Algerian cuisine – cumin, paprika – blend with the sweetness of orange for a perfect balance. Unlike Moroccan couscous served with a red sauce, Algerian couscous is often more golden and accompanied by a variety of vegetables. Here we go for freshness and simplicity: in 20 minutes you have a healthy, vitamin-packed salad that will delight your taste buds. Serve it in summer with skewers or as a starter during a family meal.
