Steps

  1. 1
    Cut the carrots into thick rounds on the diagonal and boil them in salted water with the whole garlic cloves for 8-10 minutes — tender but with resistance, never soft.
  2. 2
    Drain, reserving the garlic, and let the steam escape for a minute.
  3. 3
    Mash the boiled garlic to a paste with a little salt.
  4. 4
    Whisk the garlic paste with the cumin, paprika, harissa, lemon juice and olive oil.
  5. 5
    Pour the dressing over the carrots while they are still hot and toss. Hot carrots take on the spice; cold ones just sit in it.
  6. 6
    Cool to room temperature, then fold through the coriander and olives.
  7. 7
    Rest at least an hour before serving. It improves overnight.
