Back in... um... let's go with 2010, I needed to kickstart a new regimen of eating healthier, so I bought The Biggest Loser: 30-day Jump Start as a way to force myself into new habits. (It worked). One of the snack suggestions in it was a mix of jicama and carrot sticks. I'm not huge on raw carrots as a snack, but I liked the concept behind it. So, I played around after I finished the jumpstart and this is the end recipe that I landed on. If you've never had jicama, it has a starchy texture,similar to a potato but with a slight apple flavor.
Ingredients:
3 large carrots, peeled and chopped
1/2 jicama root, peeled and diced
1 shallot, sliced thin
extra virgin olive oil
salt and pepper
1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped
1/4 cuo fresh sage leaves, chopped
Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet, over medium heat. Add your carrots, shallot and jicama and season liberally with salt. Cook, stiring occasionally for 25-30 minutes. Add your herbs, season liberally again with salt and pepper and continue cooking until herbs have wilted, 5-10 minutes more.
