Description

The yogurt is spiced with toasted cumin and coriander seeds, cilantro and mint, and mixed with EVOO, vinegar and lemon juice


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 bunches Thumbelina carrots, scrubbed
  • 6 Tbsp EVOO
  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tsp thyme leaves
  • 1/s cup fresh orange juice
  • 1 Tbsp sesame seeds
  • 1/4 cup dry white wine
  • 1/4 cup chicken or vegetable stock
  • 1/4 cup spiced yoghurt
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves

For the Spiced Yogurt

  • 1/4 tsp coriander seeds, toasted and ground
  • 1/4 tsp cumin seeds, toasted and ground
  • 1 cup yogurt
  • 2 Tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 Tbsp chopped fresh mint
  • 2 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tsp white wine vinegar
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon
  • Kosher salt
  • 3 Tbsp water, or as needed

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 450ºF.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the carrots with the oil and season with salt and pepper. Add the thyme leaves and 2 Tbsp of the orange juice. Let stand at room temperature.
  3. In a small frying pan over medium heat, toast the sesame seeds until fragrant, about 3 minutes. Set aside and let cool.
  4. In a roasting pan large enough to hold the carrots in a single layer, heat the remaining 3 Tbs olive oil over high heat. Add the carrots and cook until they begin to brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer the pan to the oven and cool until the carrots caramelize around the edges but are still a bit firm, 5 to 7 minutes.
  5. Return the pan to the stove top over medium heat, and add the wine, remaining 6 Tbsp orange juice, and the stock. Cook, stirring with a wooden spoon to scrape up the browned bits stuck to the bottom of the pan, until the liquids thicken and begin to coat the carrots, 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  6. For the spiced yogurt, you can either simply salt it, or infuse a cup of yogurt in a food processor with ground coriander, cumin, cilantro, and fresh mint and pulse about 5 seconds until yogurt is tinted green. Add the olive oil, vinegar, and lemon juice and pulse just until incorporated. Taste and season with salt.
  7. Transfer to a serving platter. Drizzle the spiced yogurt on top, sprinkle with the toasted sesame seeds, and garnish with the cilantro. Serve warm.
