Carrots with Coriander and Pistachios

Take the “British Bland” (ie. steamed and buttered) out of this humble root vegetable and kick it up to fabulous.

INGREDIENTS:

  • ¼ C. shelled pistachios
  • ¾ tsp. coriander seeds
  • ½ garlic clove finely chopped
  • 3 TBL. lemon juices
  • ¼ tsp crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1/3 C. olive oil
  • 1 lb. carrots, cleaned and coarsely grated
  • 1/3 C. cilantro leaves

DIRECTIONS

  • Preheat oven to 350°.
  • Spread the pistachios on a baking sheet and toast for 6-8 minutes until you can smell the nuts.
    Let cool and coarsely chop.
  • Toast the coriander seeds in a small dry skillet, tossing often until fragrant (about 1 minute).
    Let cool and very coarsely grind with a mortar and pestle or put in a small ziplock bag and crush.
  • Whisk garlic, lemon juice, red pepper and coriander in a bowl, then whisk in the oil.
  • Season with kosher salt.
  • Add the carrots and let sit for at least 30 minutes.
  • 1 lb. carrots, cleaned and coarsely grated
