We have made this numerous times and love it. We change the proportions some, like putting way more harissa in than called for, but I bet it would be good as written. And if the carrots are not very sweet, we sometimes add a touch of honey or sugar, not to make it sweet as much as pump up the carrot taste a bit.

Very, very good. When DH sat down to the table and looked at it, he said, "It looks like baby food!" Then he took a substantial forkful, and gave it the glazed-eye seal of approval ... I noted the last reviewer's comment about it being bland, so I used 4 garlic cloves and 1.5 tsp. harissa -- I also cut the olive oil to about 1/4 cup. It was just delicious. Thanks for giving me a great new way to use harissa!

I live in Melbourne with my gorgeous husband Andy! We're both total foodies who love making and eating dishes of all sorts - I normally try at least 4 new recipes a week. We both do swing dancing and are totally obsessed with our two beautiful cats, Couscous (mine) and Moo(DH's). Couscous loves red wine and savoury food, while Moois addicted to frozen yoghurt and chocolate. It's a full time job trying to eat dinner in peace!
