This is an interesting recipe because it can be served either hot or as a salad. I came up with the idea after making Chicken and Seville Orange Khoresh which calls for orange peel and carrots. I was interested in the method for cooking them in julienne strips. I knew that orange worked well...

So, I'm currently broke AGAIN. Right now I only have a bunch of rice, beans, some eggs, canned tomatoes and some sausages. I'd preferably need these ingredients to make me like 4-5 meals. They don't have to taste like 5 star restaurant food, I just need to get enough nutrients to not die
