Harissa, a chile paste from North Africa, gives sautéed carrots a deliciously smoky, spicy flavor. The maple syrup adds the perfect sweet counter balance.

Francie Moon’s self titled EP is set for release later this month. The lead track, ‘Walked Away’, has a fantastic retro, lo-fi feel. She describes the song as an “ode to… growing apart for the purpose of growing closer.”
Check out Francie Moon on her Website where you can learn of an upcoming show in New Jersey and buy the music.
Cheers!
