Saturday Cook: Here's a grilled carrot recipe to star in your summer barbecue
Whole carrots, lightly charred on the grill, are balanced with a creamy tahini-flavored labneh and fresh za'atar spice blend, made with carrot tops, sprinkled over the top.
I have to admit, I used to hate carrots. Growing up on grocery store carrots, most often whittled down to the “baby” variety, I grew to associate their tooth-snapping brittleness and orange color with a one-note sweetness. They were “health” food that you snacked on instead of the chips you actually wanted. You could dip them in ranch dressing to get them down, but, well, I detested ranch too.
The first spring carrots are upon us now, showing up in farmers market stands in their hues of classic orange, ruby purple, fresh butter-yellow and parsnip-like beige, and with them an awakening of different dinner possibilities beyond the hard winter variety best in stews and as sponges for pot roast jus. They also come with their tops still attached, a lagniappe of extra herbs that give you the best two-for-one deal at the markets.
Taking inspiration from a dish I had recently at the Silver Lake restaurant Small Town, I came up with a decidedly more grown-up version of the baby-carrots-and-ranch snack we all know . Whole carrots are cooked completely on a grill to allow them to char lightly, a delicious bitter balance to their sweetness, and then served atopflavored with garlic and tahini.
You can serve the carrots, piled high on the sauce smeared on a platter, and sprinkled with the fresh za’atar for dinner, sure, but they’re even better taken outside for Memorial Day this Monday or any summertime picnic. Keep thesauce and fresh za’atar in separate containers and use the warm grilled carrots like breadsticks to dip them in thethen coat them in the za’atar.
