Roasted Carrots And Dukkah Food

ROASTED CARROTS WITH FETA AND DUKKAH

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• To make the dukkah, add the hazelnuts to a dry skillet or cast-iron and toast for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring often.
• Move the hazelnuts to a dish and add the sesame seeds, coriander seeds and cumin seeds to the pan. Toast for another 1 to 2 minutes and remove from the pan.
• Add the toasted hazelnuts, sesame seeds, coriander seeds and cumin seeds to a food processor and pulse for 2 to 4 minutes. You want the ingredients to break down into very small pieces but not to turn into a paste. You can also do this by hand in a mortar and pestle. Add black pepper and salt. Set aside.
• Pre heat oven to 400 F. Peel the carrots and slice in half lengthwise. Toss in the olive oil and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
• Roast for approximately 20 minutes or until the carrots are just fork tender.
• Place on a serving dish and top with the crumbled feta and about 1/4 cup of the dukkah. Serve warm. Extra dukkah can be stored in an airtight container for one month.

GRILLED CARROTS WITH YOGURT, CARROT-TOP OIL AND DUKKAH

Steps:

• Wash and peel the carrots and trim the tops, leaving about 1 inch/3 centimeters of the greens attached. Measure out 1 packed cup/40 grams leafy carrot tops and wash well to get rid of any grit. Squeeze out as much water as possible, and pat dry. Roughly chop the carrot tops then transfer them to a blender.
• Add the tarragon, 6 1/2 tablespoons/100 milliliters oil and a small pinch of salt. Blitz until completely smooth, scraping down the sides as needed, then transfer the mixture to a fine-mesh sieve set over a bowl. Strain the mixture, extracting as much oil as possible. (You should have about 3 tablespoons/45 milliliters.) Discard the solids.
• Meanwhile, prepare a steamer for your carrots by heating water in your steamer or setting a colander over a large pot with a few inches of simmering water. Once ready, add the carrots and steam for 10 minutes, or until you can easily pierce the thick parts with a knife but the carrots are not overly soft. Transfer the carrots to a large, shallow dish along with the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons/20 milliliters oil, plus 1/2 teaspoon salt and a good grind of pepper. Toss to combine.
• In a large bowl, whisk the honey, vinegar and a tiny pinch of salt. Set aside.
• Make the dukkah: Add all the dukkah ingredients to a food processor and pulse a few times until the nuts are roughly chopped. (You should have 1 scant cup.)
• Heat a well-oiled grill pan over high. Working in a few batches to avoid overcrowding, grill the carrots on all sides, about 6 minutes per batch. Transfer the grilled carrots to the bowl with the honey dressing, and toss gently to combine.
• Season the yogurt with 1/4 teaspoon salt, then spread it out on a large platter. Drizzle all over with the carrot-top oil then add the carrots, arranging them artfully so they're all facing the same direction. Spoon a generous amount of dukkah on top and pass the rest.

ROASTED CARROTS WITH OAT DUKKAH

Spread mixture on a rimmed baking sheet in an even layer. Bake, stirring occasionally, until crisp and golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool completely; coarsely chop by hand or pulse briefly in a food processor. Dukkah can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature up to 1 week. (Makes about 1 1/2 cups. )
• Increase oven temperature to 450 degrees. Drizzle carrots with remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Season with salt. Roast in a single layer, flipping once, until tender and beginning to brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Sprinkle generously with dukkah; serve.

ROASTED CARROT SOUP WITH DUKKAH SPICE AND YOGURT

Steps:

• Toast pistachios in a dry skillet over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 6 minutes. Transfer to a small plate and let cool. Add sesame seeds, coriander seeds, cumin seeds, fennel seeds, and peppercorns to same skillet. Toast, stirring often, until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Transfer spices to plate with nuts and let cool. Transfer nut and spice mixture and 1 teaspoon salt to a food processor or a mortar and pestle and coarsely grind. DO AHEAD: Dukkah spice blend can be made 1 week ahead. Store airtight at room temperature.
• Preheat oven to 425°F. Place the carrots on a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with melted butter, season to taste with salt and pepper, and toss to coat. Roast until the carrots are tender and just beginning to brown, about 25 minutes. Let the carrots cool slightly.
• Transfer the carrot mixture to a blender. Add the vegetable broth. Blend mixture until soup is very smooth, 1-2 minutes. Pour the soup into a medium saucepan and bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Add water by 1/4-cupfuls to soup for a thinner consistency, if desired. Season soup to taste with salt and pepper.
• Divide hot soup among bowls. Spoon a dollop of yogurt into center of each. Sprinkle with dukkah.
