Griddled or barbecued carrots
This simple, quick recipe gets the best out of young carrots, offsetting their inherent sweetness with a lightly seasoned smokiness. The carrots are good warm or cold. They go well with pretty much anything cooked on the barbecue.
Ingredients
- zest and juice of 1 lemon
- 150ml olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves, chopped
- 450g small carrots, scrubbed (or larger carrots halved lengthways, blanched for 1 minute)
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- salt and pepper
