Grilled Honey Tarragon Carrots Recipes

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.

GLAZED CARROTS WITH TARRAGON

Steps:

• Put the carrots in an 8-inch-wide, 3- to 4-quart saucepan and arrange snugly. Add the butter, sugar, 1/2 tsp. salt, and enough water to just cover the carrots (about 2 cups). Bring to a boil over high heat.
• Cook over high heat, shaking the pan occasionally, until the liquid has reduced to a syrupy glaze and the carrots are tender, about 10 minutes. (If the glaze is done before the carrots, add about 1/2 cup water and continue to cook. If the carrots are done first, remove them and continue to boil the liquid until syrupy.)
• Lower the heat to medium low, add the tarragon, and toss to combine. Season to taste with salt and serve. (The glazed carrots can be kept warm, covered, for about 20 minutes.)

SWEET GRILLED CARROTS RECIPE

Steps:

• Marinate the carrots in the melted butter, honey, and herbs for at least 30 minutes.
• Place on hot grill and baste with marinate as you turn until soft inside about 25 minutes (depending on the size of the carrots and the heat of the flames).
• Remove from grill and serve.

GRILLED CARROTS

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Heat the grill to medium-high heat, 400 F to 425 F.
• While the grill is heating up, trim the leafy tops and any fibrous ends of the carrots. Wash and peel the carrots, patting them with a paper towel to dry. You can cut big carrots in half lengthwise if thick enough to still be at least 1/2 to 3/4-inch thick.
• Place a single layer of carrots in a baking dish and coat lightly with olive oil.
• Sprinkle the oiled carrots with the desired amount of salt and pepper, then season with rosemary and thyme.
• Once the grill is heated, place the carrots on the grill (cut-side down if cut in half lengthwise) and cook covered until the carrots develop grill marks, about 7 to 8 minutes per side.
• Once flipped, you will know when the carrots are done when both sides are seared (or they begin to brown) and can be pierced with a fork with a soft crunch in the middle.

TARRAGON CARROTS

Steps:

• Place 1 in. of water and carrots in a small saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 7-8 minutes or until crisp-tender. Drain. Add butter; stir to coat. Sprinkle with tarragon.

GRILLED TARRAGON MUSTARD CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat grill for medium heat and lightly oil grate.
• Whisk mustard, garlic, tarragon, honey, and lemon juice in a small bowl. Pat chicken breasts dry with a paper towel; coat one side of each breast with mustard sauce.
• Place chicken, coated side down, on grill; cover with remaining sauce and close grill lid. Turn chicken over after 10 minutes. Cook chicken breasts until no longer pink in the center and juices run clear, about 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

GRILLED CARROTS WITH HONEY GLAZE

Steps:

• Preheat grill to medium (surface temp of about 350°-450°.)
• Prep the carrots. Scrub well or peel. Cut off the root and skinny tip. If thicker than 3/4 inch, cut in half lengthwise. Mix 1 tablespoon honey, two teaspoons brown sugar and 1 teaspoon olive oil. Heat in microwave for 15 seconds to get hot and stir to combine the sugar.
• Give the carrots a good brush of olive oil and don't forget the cut ends. Don't brush with glaze yet.
• You can use a grill pan or grill directly on the grates but be sure either is well oiled. Flip the carrots every 5 minutes or so. About 10 minutes into grilling, brush with the honey solution, flip and brush again.
• Grill until internal temp over 190° in the thickest part and tender, about 5-10 minutes more.

• Preheat barbecue to medium heat.
• Oil the grill. Place carrots flat side down over direct heat and cook for 2-4 minutes per side. Carrots should have golden char marks.
• Remove from heat and serve.
