Preparation

Step 1

For the dough:
Mix flour with salt, dig a well and add the other ingredients. Knead the dough, let stand in warm place, after coated with olive oil

Step 2

Peel carrots, cut into chunks and boil until perfectly cooked. Mash with a fork or pass them through a vegetable mill.
Add to the puree, the grated onion, salt, tabil and caraway, 1 tbls of harissa and 1/3 tbsp of Harouss, and mix with three tablespoons of olive oil. Set aside.

Step 3

Take small balls of dough, depending on the size you want your flat cakes to be and spread thinly with the help of a little oil (not flour). Fill a cake, and cover with another dough disc. Repeat until all the batter is used.

Step 4

Cook the patties 5 minutes per side in a pan without adding fat! You can enjoy these flat cakes hot or cold as a starter or dish with a salad!

Sometimes I make small portions for appetisers.
