Carrot Sticks

Ingredients

6 Boiled carrots
1 Eggs
1 Crushed garlic
1 Dried apricots, minced
1 Tbsp fresh dill, minced
1 Tbsp dry mint
1 Tbsp pine nuts, roasted
3 Tbsp bread crumbs
Salt and pepper
1 Tbsp all purpose flour
Oil

 Steps

• Mash carrots well with a fork.
• Whisk eggs in a deep bowl. Add garlic, apricots, green onion, dill, parsley, dry mint, and pine nuts. Toss lightly until ingredients are mixed well.
• Add carrots and mix well. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add bread crumbs until to reach a dough-like consistency.
• Make stick-shapes from the dough. Roll the mixture in flour to coat evenly. (The carrot sticks can be stored in plastic bags and kept in the freezer to be used later.)
• Heat oil in a pan and fry the sticks until lightly brown. Removed and place on paper towels to absorb excess oil. Serve with yogurt salad.
