Grilled Carrots

Grilled Carrots is a lovely side dish for the barbecue party. This recipe is taken from Lisa Wallén’s cookbook Cool Cats' hot dogs : inte en vanlig korv med bröd (LB förlag), where she takes us on a culinary journey where she shares her favourite hot dog recipes. The book offers lots of mouth-watering dishes, tasty toppings, dipping sauces, kimchi and fries. Many of the recipes can be adapted to make them plant-based.

Grilled Carrots
INGREDIENTS (Serves 4)
8 carrots
100 g salted peanuts
2 tbsp roasted sesame seeds 
Coriander and mint for garnish 

Mariande:
2 tbsp brown sugar 
Lime juice from 2 limes 
Lemon juice from 1 lemon
1 dl fish sauce
1 tbsp finely chopped coriander 
Orange juice from 1 orange

1. Prepare the grill. 

2. Start with the marinade so it has time to cool down properly. Finely chop the coriander and mix with the sugar and fruit juice. Heat in a saucepan, stirring, until the sugar melts and set aside. 

3. Chop the peanuts and prepare the herbs.

4. If you're using a charcoal grill, as I do, my trick is to transfer all the whitened charcoal to one side. Then grill the carrots on the side with the whitened charcoal until they get a nice colour, preferably with some black streaks. Then move the carrots to the side without charcoal and put the lid on. The grilling time will vary depending on the size of the carrots, but allow about 20 minutes for medium-sized carrots. 

5. When the carrots are ready, turn them over in the marinade. Place the yoghurt sauce and carrots on a serving platter and top with sesame seeds, chopped peanuts and herbs. 

Serve with the yoghurt sauce with feta cheese and mint.
