Louros Roasted Heirloom Carrot Salad With Miso Dressing Recipes

MISO DRESSING

Steps:

• In a small bowl, whisk vinegar, miso, soy sauce, sesame oil, honey and ginger. Gradually whisk in oil until blended.

MISO GLAZED CARROTS

Steps:

• In medium, heavy skillet, heat sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add onion and carrots. Cook, stirring occasionally, about 6 minutes, until soft on edges but not brown.
• In small bowl, cream miso with 1/4 cup broth. Stir this mixture, remaining broth, orange zest and ginger into carrots and onions. Reduce heat, and simmer for 12 to 15 minutes, until liquid is reduced to a glaze and carrots are crisp-tender.
• Stir in roasted sesame oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

MAPLE-ROASTED CARROT SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Trim and scrub the carrots. If the carrots are more than 1 inch in diameter, cut them in half lengthwise. Cut the carrots in large diagonal slices 1 inch wide × 2 inches long (they will shrink when they roast) and place in a medium bowl with 1/4 cup of olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Toss well and transfer to two sheet pans. (If you use just one, they¿ll steam instead of roasting.) Roast for 20 minutes, tossing once, until the carrots are tender. Transfer all the carrots to one of the sheet pans, add the maple syrup, toss, and roast for 10 to 15 minutes, until the edges are caramelized. Watch them carefully! Toss with a metal spatula and set aside for 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine the cranberries and orange juice in a small saucepan, bring to a simmer, then set aside for 10 minutes.
• In a small bowl, combine the vinegar, garlic, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Whisk in 3 tablespoons of olive oil. Place the arugula in a large bowl and add the carrots, cranberries (with their liquid), goat cheese, almonds, and the vinaigrette. Toss with large spoons, sprinkle with salt, and serve at room temperature.
