This African-inspired recipe for steamed carrots with yogurt dressing transforms plain carrots into a warm, exotically delicious side dish.

Ingredients
- 2 lbs carrot long, thin (See NOTE 1
Marinade
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp rose water
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1/4 tsp kosher salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper ground
- 1/8 tsp ground cinnamon
Dressing
- 1/2 cup yogurt plain, Greek
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
Garnish
- 1/4 cup dill roughly chopped
- 1/4 cilantro roughly chopped
Instructions
- Trim the ends and peel the carrots. Place in a steamer and steam for 8 minutes or microwave for 5 minutes. Drain any accumulated water. They should be al dente.
- In a small bowl whisk together the dressing ingredients and pour over the steamed carrots, tossing to coat and absorb. Set aside to cool.
- Mix the yogurt and heavy cream together. Spoon over carrots, stir gently, but do not over mix. Transfer to serving platter or bowl and sprinkle the herbs on top and a grind or two of fresh ground black pepper.
Notes
- Recipe adapted from Yotam Ottolenghi's, Simple: A Cookbook.
- Any type of carrots will work, but I use heirloom baby carrots. The color and flavor are a nice change from traditional baby carrot recipes, and the greens make for a nice presentation.
