ZUCCHINI AND CARROT FRITTERS WITH YOGURT-MINT DIP
These crispy fritters, which Melissa Clark developed for her picky daughter, are also an ideal cocktail accompaniment. Hot, salty and crunchy: They can be devoured in one or two bites. To make them, combine shredded or diced carrots and zucchini, lemon zest and scallion with a light batter of flour, egg, milk, coriander and pepper. Let them rest for a half-hour so the vegetables can soften, then drop the battered vegetables by the spoonful into the oil and fry until golden all over. Sprinkle with salt and serve with a creamy dip of yogurt, mint and garlic, and watch them disappear.

Steps:
- To make the batter for the fritters: in a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, coriander and 1/2 teaspoon salt. In a separate large bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, lemon zest and pepper.
- Pour dry ingredients into wet; whisk until just blended (do not overmix). Batter should be slightly thicker than cream. If it's too thick, add some milk; if it's too thin, sprinkle with additional flour. Stir in the carrots, zucchini and scallions. Allow to rest for 30 minutes.
- To make the yogurt dip: using a mortar and pestle or the back of a knife, mash together the garlic and 1/4 teaspoon salt. In a small bowl, whisk together the garlic paste, yogurt, mint and 1 tablespoon extra virgin oil. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
- Fill a wide saucepan with 1 inch of olive oil; heat until the temperature registers 375 degrees on a deep-fry thermometer (or until a small drip of batter browns immediately). Line a cookie sheet with paper towels. Working in batches, drop battered vegetables by the tablespoon into the oil, being sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry, turning occasionally, until golden all over, about 3 to 4 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer fritters to the cookie sheet to drain. Transfer fritters to a platter or plate; sprinkle with salt and serve with yogurt dip.

LEMONY CARROT DIP
Only three main ingredients! Recipes really can't get much simpler! And there are times when such recipes come in handy! I haven't made this one yet. I found it in the October 2005 issue of the Australian magazine 'Delicious' and I have adapted it for posting for the 2005 Zaar World Tour, as both an Australian (and in view of its combining of lemon juice and cumin) and as a Middle Eastern recipe. My recommendation would be to make this recipe when sweet baby carrots are available. Depending on the size and juiciness of your carrots, you may need to use slightly more or slightly less lemon juice: use your culinary discretion! If the carrots are really juicy, mop up some of the juiciness with paper towels so that you can still add a generous amount of lemon juice. Again, use your culinary discretion! Preparation and cooking times will vary, depending on the choices you make with ingredients and the way you choose to cook the carrots. My estimated preparation and cooking times are based on the option of using baby carrots and boiling them in salt water: the fastest of the alternatives. Personally, if time permits, I'd recommend baking the carrots, brushed with a little olive oil, in the oven.

Tips:
- To ensure crispy carrot fries, select fresh, firm carrots and cut them into even-sized sticks. Soaking the carrot fries in cold water for 15 minutes before cooking helps remove excess starch, resulting in a crispier texture.
- Opt for high-quality olive oil for both the carrot fries and the lemon-mint dip. Extra virgin olive oil provides the best flavor and health benefits.
- Use a non-stick baking sheet to prevent the carrot fries from sticking. Alternatively, line the baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Season the carrot fries generously with salt and pepper before baking. You can also add other herbs and spices like garlic powder, paprika, or cumin to taste.
- Bake the carrot fries at a high temperature (425°F) for 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking process. This ensures even browning and crispiness.
- For the lemon-mint dip, use fresh lemon juice and finely chopped mint leaves. You can adjust the amount of garlic and salt to your preference.
- Serve the carrot fries hot with the lemon-mint dip for a refreshing and flavorful snack or side dish.
Conclusion:
Carrot fries with lemon-mint dip are an easy-to-make, healthy, and delicious treat that can be enjoyed as a snack, appetizer, or side dish. With their crispy texture, sweet flavor, and tangy dip, these carrot fries are sure to be a hit among family and friends. Whether you're looking for a healthier alternative to traditional french fries or a unique and flavorful snack, these carrot fries with lemon-mint dip are a great option.
