This salad/spread/dip type of dish is my version of a traditional Turkish meze. But I'd rather call it mediterranean seeing that both the ingredients and the preparation easily reminds me of many afro/euro-mediterranean dishes.

How to make it
- Saute the carrots in a non-stick pan with vegetable oil until they soften up and acquire a yellowish color. You wouldn't want it too oily, it should be just enought to help the carrots cook.

- Add in the sauteed carrots and stir thorougly.
- Let it sit a couple of hours to let the flavors meld into eachother.

- Good sandwich spread, too.
