Time 1h5m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

150 grams (3/4 cup) sugar
150 grams (1 1/4 cups) almond flour
100 grams (6 2/3 tablespoons) butter, melted
100 grams (3/4 cup) all-purpose flour
50 grams (3 1/3 tablespoons) dark cocoa powder
35 grams (2 1/3 tablespoons) instant coffee grounds
2 tablespoons smoked paprika
1 tablespoon ancho powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
5 grams (1 teaspoon salt)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
24 medium rainbow carrots, tops still on, leafy parts removed
Olive oil, for cooking
Zest and juice of 1 lime
Smoked flaky sea salt
1/2 cup sour cream

Steps:

  • For the coffee mole dirt: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F and line a baking sheet with a silicone liner.
  • Combine the sugar, almond flour, melted butter, all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, instant coffee, smoked paprika, ancho powder, cumin and salt in a bowl. Pour evenly onto the lined baking sheet and bake until evenly browned and crunchy, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • For the carrots: Preheat a pellet grill according to the manufacturer's instructions to 325 degrees F.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  • Add the whole carrots to the boiling water and blanch until they are cooked but still have some crunch, about 5 minutes. Remove to a plate. Toss the carrots with 2 tablespoons olive oil and some salt and pepper and put on the grill. Grill until just starting to brown, about 10 minutes.
  • Put the carrots back on a plate, then drizzle with more oil and half of the lime zest and juice and sprinkle with the smoked sea salt.
  • Mix together the sour cream and remaining lime zest in a bowl. Slather the crema on a serving platter and top with the carrots. Top the carrots with the "dirt" and serve. (Reserve any remaining dirt for another use in a container with a tight-fitting lid.)

This recipe was a bit too complicated for me. I think I'll stick to my usual roasted carrots.

These carrots were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll try adding some more spices next time.
