Tip
The trick with this recipe is not to over chop the carrots because you want to end up with a rough mash. The other tip is to remove as much water as possible from the carrots before moving on. You could even return cooked drained carrot to the TM bowl and cook off any moisture on 100 deg, reverse Speed 1 for 3 minutes.
Harrisa is a North American Chilli paste available from delis and gourmet food stores. Herbies make a good Harissa mix. Local Brisbane lady Suzanne Quinter makes an excellent Harissa paste that is used by Gordon Ramsey.

Comments
I loved the idea of this recipe, but found it was a bit short on taste. In the end I added extra garlic, paprika and lemon juice. I'd also recommend using less than the suggested 900ml of fluid to cook the carrots. You could probably get by with 750-800ml.
