    4 serving Chicken thigh, bone-in, skin left on
    2 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
    7 medium Carrots, raw
    1 fruit without skin and seeds Avocados, California (Haas)
    30 gram(s) Harissa, Cave Mezza brand, 2 tbs/30gr (by AFM-SPARK)

Tips

This looks beautiful plated if you can find multicolor carrots


Directions

Slice carrots into 2 inch sections, season with salt and pepper and toss with olive oil. Roast on baking sheet at 375 for 20 minutes until cooked through and tender. Spread 1 T harissa under the skin of the chicken thighs. Starting in a cold cast iron pan, place chicken thighs skin side down and slowly bring to a medium heat to sear the skin crispy and render out the chicken fat (schmaltz). Drain pan of schmaltz into container, reserve. Finish cooking chicken on other side until cooked through. Mix reserved schmaltz with remaining harissa paste. Top carrots with chopped avocado, drizzle with harissa schmaltz and fresh lemon juice. Serve.
