Time 25m

Yield 4 to 6 as a side dish

Number Of Ingredients 20

1/2 cup Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint, plus more for garnish
1/2 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
1 tablespoon harissa
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound baby carrots, tops removed but a little green left attached (see Cook's Note)
Canola oil or pure olive oil
2 teaspoons Spanish paprika
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground mustard
1/4 teaspoon ground fennel
Pomegranate seeds, for garnish
Pomegranate Dressing, for serving, recipe follows
1/4 cup pomegranate molasses
1 heaping tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
3/4 cup canola oil
Kosher salt and pepper
Kosher salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Whisk together the yogurt, mint and lemon zest in a bowl and swirl in the harissa. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and set aside to let the flavors meld while you prepare the carrots.
  • Bring a pot of well-salted water to a boil. Set up a bowl of well-salted ice water. Blanch the carrots in the boiling water until slightly al dente (they should still have crunch). Immediately plunge the carrots into the ice water and leave them to cool for 2 minutes. Drain well. Rub the skins off the carrots with a clean kitchen towel.
  • Heat a few tablespoons of oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium heat until the oil shimmers. Add the carrots, paprika, cumin, mustard and fennel and cook until the carrots are charred. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer the carrots to a serving dish and top with dollops of the yogurt sauce. Garnish with mint leaves and pomegranate seeds. Serve with pomegranate dressing.
  • Whisk together the pomegranate molasses, mustard, vinegar, canola and some salt and pepper until smooth.

Overall, I thought this dish was just okay. I probably won't make it again.

I thought the yogurt sauce was a bit bland.

I'm not sure if I did something wrong, but my carrots came out a little dry.

I roasted the carrots for a little longer than the recipe called for, which gave them a nice caramelized flavor.

I didn't have harissa, so I used a combination of chili powder, cumin, and paprika. It was still delicious!

I used Greek yogurt in the sauce, which made it extra thick and creamy.
