GRILLED CARROTS WITH YOGURT, CARROT-TOP OIL AND DUKKAH
You can serve these carrots with Greek yogurt, or with homemade labneh, if you start the night before (see Tip below). This recipe calls for making your own dukkah: You'll have more than you need, but keep any leftovers in a sealed container to sprinkle over salads, grilled meat or fish. A bunch of carrots from your farmers' market will work best here, but you can also use regular carrots that have been halved or quartered lengthwise. If you can't find bunches of carrots with their fresh tops, you can prepare the oil using parsley instead, or double the tarragon for an even more herbaceous version.

Steps:
- Wash and peel the carrots and trim the tops, leaving about 1 inch/3 centimeters of the greens attached. Measure out 1 packed cup/40 grams leafy carrot tops and wash well to get rid of any grit. Squeeze out as much water as possible, and pat dry. Roughly chop the carrot tops then transfer them to a blender.
- Add the tarragon, 6 1/2 tablespoons/100 milliliters oil and a small pinch of salt. Blitz until completely smooth, scraping down the sides as needed, then transfer the mixture to a fine-mesh sieve set over a bowl. Strain the mixture, extracting as much oil as possible. (You should have about 3 tablespoons/45 milliliters.) Discard the solids.
- Meanwhile, prepare a steamer for your carrots by heating water in your steamer or setting a colander over a large pot with a few inches of simmering water. Once ready, add the carrots and steam for 10 minutes, or until you can easily pierce the thick parts with a knife but the carrots are not overly soft. Transfer the carrots to a large, shallow dish along with the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons/20 milliliters oil, plus 1/2 teaspoon salt and a good grind of pepper. Toss to combine.
- In a large bowl, whisk the honey, vinegar and a tiny pinch of salt. Set aside.
- Make the dukkah: Add all the dukkah ingredients to a food processor and pulse a few times until the nuts are roughly chopped. (You should have 1 scant cup.)
- Heat a well-oiled grill pan over high. Working in a few batches to avoid overcrowding, grill the carrots on all sides, about 6 minutes per batch. Transfer the grilled carrots to the bowl with the honey dressing, and toss gently to combine.
- Season the yogurt with 1/4 teaspoon salt, then spread it out on a large platter. Drizzle all over with the carrot-top oil then add the carrots, arranging them artfully so they're all facing the same direction. Spoon a generous amount of dukkah on top and pass the rest.

Steps:
- Combine carrots, 1/4 cup water, 1 1/2 tablespoons tarragon, butter, vinegar and honey in heavy large skillet. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium; cover and simmer until carrots are almost tender, about 12 minutes. Uncover; cook until carrots are tender and liquid is reduced to glaze, about 6 minutes longer. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to platter. Sprinkle with 1 1/2 tablespoons tarragon.
Tips:
- Choose the right carrots: Look for carrots that are about the same size so they cook evenly. Avoid carrots that are too thick or too thin.
- Trim the carrots: Cut off the tops and bottoms of the carrots. Then, peel them if desired.
- Cut the carrots into uniform pieces: This will help them cook evenly. You can cut them into rounds, slices, or strips.
- Toss the carrots with oil and seasonings: This will help them caramelize and develop flavor. You can use olive oil, avocado oil, or any other high-heat oil. Season the carrots with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and any other desired seasonings.
- Grill the carrots over medium-high heat: This will help them cook quickly and evenly. Use a grill pan or a regular grill. Grill the carrots for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until they are tender and slightly charred.
- Make the honey-tarragon glaze: While the carrots are grilling, make the honey-tarragon glaze. Combine honey, butter, tarragon, and lemon juice in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for about 5 minutes, or until the glaze has thickened. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Glaze the carrots: Once the carrots are grilled, brush them with the honey-tarragon glaze. Serve immediately.
