Grilled Carrots With Avocado And Mint Recipes

Steps:

• Prepare a grill for medium heat. Toast cumin seeds in a dry small skillet over medium heat, tossing often, until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Let cool.
• Coarsely crush cumin seeds with a mortar and pestle (or on a cutting board with the flat side of a chef's knife). Transfer to a large bowl. Add lemon juice and honey. Whisk in ¼ cup oil, then add chile and ginger. Season dressing with salt. Let sit while you grill carrots (this will give the chile and ginger time to infuse into dressing).
• Toss carrots and remaining 2 Tbsp. oil on a rimmed baking sheet to coat; season with salt. Grill carrots, turning occasionally, until lightly charred in spots and tender, 14-18 minutes. Immediately transfer carrots to bowl with dressing and toss to coat. Taste and season with more salt if needed.
• Arrange carrots and avocados on a platter and spoon any dressing left in bowl over. Top with mint.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together vinegar, soy sauce, sugar, rosemary, garlic and ginger until combined. Whisk in 2 tablespoons oil so dressing emulsifies; set aside.
• Heat grill to low. Coat carrots with oil and season with salt. Grill carrots, covered, turning as needed to prevent burning, until nicely charred and fork tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
• When carrots come off the grill, toss them immediately in the prepared dressing. Once they're coated, use tongs to transfer the carrots to a serving platter and garnish with green onion. Drizzle a few spoonfuls of the remaining dressing over the top.

Steps:

• Trim off the ends of each carrot and scrape the sides.
• Cut the carrots crosswise into rounds, each about 1/8 inch thick.
• There should be about 4 cups.
• Put the carrot rounds in a saucepan and add the butter, broth, salt and pepper. Bring to the boil. Cover and simmer about 5 minutes or until crisp-tender. Do not overcook. Remove from the heat.
• Add the mint and cumin and stir to blend. Serve.
