Charmoula is a versatile Moroccan dip typically served alongside fish dishes. This version incorporates Titus sardines directly into the dip. For a variation on this recipe, steamed broccoli and olives can easily replace the carrots.
Serves: 6 • Time: 15 minutes
Ingredients
- 1½ lbs. carrots (about 4), peeled
