Carrot Noodles in Spicy Chimichurri Sauce

It’s a crazy feeling to have completed a piece of work – one on which so many hours and effort have been spent – and to see it as work that is real, not just a fragment of a dream.

It’s a beautiful sensation to know that the time and determination put into a project finally sees it manifest into something of value and worth. It’s also slightly terrifying to have your work out there in the world, as you wait to see people’s reactions to it

In the last week since I’ve launched the Simple Healthy Breads & Treats e-cookbook, I’ve felt myself pass through an entire range of emotions – from being ecstatic and anxious to being grateful.

Carrot Noodles with Spicy Chimichurri Sauce

I was reminded throughout the entire week that even though the e-cookbook is finally finished (and those who have gotten their copy tell me they love it – thank you so much guys!!), it doesn’t mean I’m done doing what I know I’ve always wanted to do – to make a positive difference in the life of those who read what I write.

I was reminded of the reason why I first started this food blog and why I started writing in the first place.

I began writing because writing was a passion that took me by my breath; one that invaded my sleep and woke me from my dreams. It was a passion that didn’t suffice as a hobby, or something solely to be done on the side.

And that is why I started writing Dish by Dish – writing demanded my attention, my time and my energy. It needed a space on which to flow and take form. It required me to think and feel and then put my thoughts and emotions into words – words that hopefully will somehow impact those who read them.

Carrot Noodles with Spicy Chimichurri Sauce

I realised sometime shortly after my mum’s unexpected heart attack last Christmas, that there are so many people out there who don’t realise that their diets can cause them years of good health or their lives.

I knew I needed to spread the word about the fact that what we eat can either make us feel better or damage our bodies.

And that’s why I’m determined to keep on writing, even after the e-cookbook. (Have you gotten your copy yet? If not, get your copy today!).

I believe health is ours to choose and yours for the making. So friends, I hope, for your sake and mine, that you’ll choose to live a long and healthy life, starting with eating well.

Today I’m sharing another grain-free recipe, but this time for a main dish that will take you less than 20 minutes from start to finish.

It’s a recipe that I came up with one Saturday afternoon, born out of craving to eat noodles with some kind of spicy sauce. And the spicy sauce I’m using is a version of chimichurri, the sauce that is used widely here in Argentina and Latin America.

I didn’t want to use typical wheat pasta or rice noodles, I wanted to use vegetables julienned into noodles, and because I also wanted color in them, I choose to use carrots instead.

Carrot Noodles with Spicy Chimichurri Sauce

You probably already know of my love for this amazing julienne peeler, one that I’ve used over and over again on this blog (and in particular, for these peanut sesame zucchini noodles – the most popular recipe on the blog this past month). This julienne peeler is small and compact and so easy to use, and it’s probably one of my best kitchen investments, ever (I highly recommend getting it!).

For today’s recipe, this is what you’ll have to do.

Start by processing the parsley, basil, spring onions, garlic, vinegar, vegetable oil, red chilli pepper flakes and salt in a blender, until you get a thick paste, and then add salt according to taste. With the chimichurri done,  bring a large pot of water to boil, and as the water boils, shred the peeled carrots into noodles using the julienne peeler. When the water starts to boil, blanch the carrot noodles in the boiling water until they are cooked and soft (1 to 2 minutes).

Now, divide the cooked carrot noodles evenly in two bowls, and pour the chimichurri sauce over the noodles, mixing well. Garnish with a sprig of parlsey and a shake of red chilli pepper flakes. Enjoy!

    Thank u Felicia for dedicating this article to Ron on his 25th Birthday ❤️

    Indeed, I am so thankful to God for the artistic and creative abilities He had placed in all three of u (both common as well as varying degrees of the love for food, writing, art and music).

    Yes, please continue to write as your writing has been a great inspiration to me and it always warms my heart every time I read your articles.

    With much love & blessings,

    I need to try this recipe for sure. I love spiralizing vegetables and am a big fan of Mexican flavors. Looks awesome.

      Hey Peter! Thanks so much for stopping by! Aren’t spiralized vegetables totally the bomb? Totally totally love my julienne peeler. Do you use a julienne peeler when you spiralize veggies? Or a spiralizer? I haven’t decided if I should get the spiralizer yet, since I’m doing good with the julienne peeler for now!

    What you wrote about your mom really resonated with me… my mom also had a close call with her health this past year, and it really woke her up to the importance of diet for overall health. Food as medicine is one of the oldest concepts in the book, but I feel like in our modern society, people eat for gratification and not for health. So props to you for spreading this message! 🙂
