These two unusual vitamin side dishes are perfect for those who are fasting, losing weight, vegetarians and simply supporters of a healthy diet.
Garnish No. 1. Carrot puree with cumin.
For two small portions, we need:
4 medium carrots;
4 cloves of garlic;
1 tsp cumin;
0.5 tsp hot red pepper;
0.5 tsp turmeric;
A few sprigs of fresh parsley or tsp. dried;
1 tbsp lemon juice or balsamic vinegar;
4 tablespoons olive oil or 200 g of Turkish yogurt;
Salt to taste.
Boil the carrots and garlic and pass through a blender, adding a spoonful of water in which the vegetables were cooked. Season, add vinegar and oil or yogurt and beat again. Serve with serving rings.
Garnish No. 2. Baked carrots with garlic and coriander.
For this side dish, we need a little less food, but a little more time.
Prepare:
2 carrots;
2 cloves of garlic;
1 tbsp whole coriander;
1 tsp black peppercorns;
2 tbsp vegetable oil;
Sea salt to taste.
So, pour pepper and coriander into a dry frying pan and heat it up: this will reveal their smell. While they are warming up, cut the carrots into rings 1 cm wide. Do you smell the spicy aroma? So, it's time to sprinkle the pepper and coriander on a napkin, cover with a towel and roll with a rolling pin - chop, in other words. Rub the garlic on a fine grater. Put the carrots on a baking sheet, sprinkle with spices, salt, add oil and mix. We put in an oven preheated to 170 degrees for 40 minutes, but we constantly make sure that nothing burns.
I hope these recipes will diversify your menu and make you take a fresh look at such a primitive product as carrots.
