Libyan Steamed Carrot Salad (Salatet Sfinari bil Kamoun)
This is an easy and quick(ish) salad that works great as a side dish for your favorite Libyan meal and stuff like kabobs. It’s basically just softened carrots with a few herbs, and a chili pepper to give it a kick. And it can be made ahead of time, yet not so intrusive to interfere with whatever else you’re making.
Serves 4-6 people, but can easily be expanded for a party.
Cooking time: 30 minutes + resting in the fridge
Shopping List:
- 2-3 carrots, depending on size
- 1/2 bunch cilantro
- 1/2 bunch flat parsley
- 1-2 tbsp Garlic
- Chili pepper (to heat preference)
(I usually use an anaheim or pasilla) - Lemon
- 1 tsp Cumin
- Olive oil
Begin by washing the carrots, and slicing them into 1/8″ thick (or less) rounds. When the carrots get over around 1/2″ thick, halve them long ways and continue slicing the halves. Then start steaming them ~ you can use one of those collapsible flower thingies (which we do) ~ just make sure you cover it with a pot lid so they steam better. Check on them and stir regularly, and when they’re soft remove from heat and set aside to cool.
Meanwhile, mince up around 1/2 a bunch of both flat parsley and cilantro. Separately mince up the chile as well as several cloves of garlic.
Squeeze the juice of half a lemon over the carrots, and add in the cumin, garlic, and chili. Now comes the tricky part: stir in the cilantro and parsley until there’s “enough”. How much depends on how many carrots, but the total amount is for around 3 regular-sized carrots. It should look a lot like the photo above.
Add a few tablespoons of olive oil, stir in, and let sit in the fridge for an hour or so. Top off with a splash more olive oil right before serving.
So I’ve been playing on Craybet for roughly two months now and wanted to share some thoughts since I haven’t seen many posts about it around here. Signed up randomly one night and registration took maybe 90 seconds. Min deposit was ten bucks which is about what you’d expect. They threw in a welcome bonus — matched my first deposit 100% up to 500 plus 50 free spins on Gates of Olympus. Rollover is 35 times the bonus which is kinda average but it’s manageable.
Game selection is bigger than I expected. There’s titles from Pragmatic Play, Evolution, and Big Time Gaming — so like Gates of Olympus, Starburst, all the popular ones. Somewhere around 1500-2000 slots including table games. Live casino uses Evolution and it’s smooth — tried baccarat and Crazy Time with real dealers and had no complaints.
Tbh the thing that kinda bugged me was how long cashouts take. Withdrew via Bitcoin and it took like a day and a half for my first withdrawal. Once you’re verified though things sped up. You can use Visa, Mastercard, Skrill, Neteller, and crypto which is pretty much everything you’d want. I’d check out the full bonus details at svnewtech before you sign up.
Mobile experience on Craybet from my iPhone is actually smooth. No dedicated app but the web app is responsive and everything works no problem. Was playing some slots in bed and no performance issues.
Support at Craybet is alright — live chat that gets you a person within a few minutes most times. I contacted them about a pending withdrawal and they sorted it pretty quickly. Not sure about Curacao licensed and that’s standard for US-friendly sites. Wouldn’t say it’s perfect — promo codes seem rare — but as a daily player I keep coming back.
So I’ve been playing on Craybet for like a couple months and wanted to share some thoughts because there’s not much discussion about this place around here. Registered on a whim and the whole process was like two minutes. Minimum deposit is $10 and that’s normal for US-facing sites. I grabbed a sign-up bonus — matched my first deposit 100% up to 500 and fifty free spins on Gates of Olympus. Rollover is 35x and that is kinda average but I’ve dealt with worse.
Game selection is honestly pretty solid. You’ll find games from Pragmatic Play, Evolution, plus Big Time Gaming — meaning Book of Dead, Starburst, the usual heavy hitters. Probably close to 2000 games total if you count everything. Live casino runs on Evolution which is quality — tried blackjack and Crazy Time with real dealers and zero lag issues.
Now the one thing that kinda bugged me was payout speed. Withdrew via Skrill and it took like a day and a half for my first withdrawal. Once you’re verified though it dropped to like 24 hours. Payment options include credit cards, Skrill, Neteller, Bitcoin which is pretty much everything you’d want. I’d look at the full bonus details over at CrayBet before you sign up.
Using Craybet on my phone is actually smooth. No dedicated app — the web app loads fast and all the games load without issues. Played some slots on the bus and had zero performance issues.
Customer service on Craybet is decent — live chat that actually connects within a few minutes usually. I contacted them about a bonus that didn’t credit and it was resolved same day. I think they’re Curacao licensed and that’s standard for US-friendly sites. It’s not flawless — wish they had more payment options — but as a daily player it does the job for me.

Game selection is honestly pretty solid. There’s stuff from Pragmatic Play, NetEnt, plus Microgaming — meaning Book of Dead, Starburst, that kind of thing. Somewhere around a couple thousand titles total if you count everything. The live dealer section is powered by Evolution which is legit — tried blackjack and Crazy Time with actual croupiers and zero lag issues.
Tbh the thing that annoyed me a little was withdrawal times. I used Visa and it took about 48 hours for my first withdrawal. After that though it dropped to like 24 hours.

Using Craybet on my phone was surprisingly good. I didn’t find a native app though the browser version loads fast and everything works without issues. I played a few sessions on my commute and no lag or glitches.
Support at Craybet has been alright — there’s a chat widget that actually connects in under five minutes when I’ve used it. I contacted them about my verification docs and got it fixed same day. Not sure about Curacao-based from what I can tell which is what most platforms like this. Not everything is amazing — the bonus wagering could be lower — but for what it is it does the job for me.

@olav @tofugolem [1. I assume the cumin is added at the same time as the garlic?2. By “chili pepper,” do you mean fresh? Crushed red pepper? Red pepper powder?]—Yeah, as in the cumin at the same time. Good catch, thanks 🙂 Chili pepper, definitely fresh or the texture gets all weird. Kat has a sensitive palate so I’ll grab like a pasilla or anaheim and maybe use half of it, but go with as much heat as you likeAnd sorry, there's something off between my website and posting to Mastodon
