Can you please share how you prepare the carrots?
It’s interesting that you ask because I dislike carrots greatly, or any carotinoid-containing vegetable for that matter (sweet potatoes, acorn squash, etc.). However, the waiter at one of my favorite restaurants—Lonesome Dove—suggested that I try them because, as he said, “People who hate carrots love these!” And although I have rarely found this statement to bare out, in this case, the waiter was right.
Here’s my take on how they make them:
Cut carrots lengthwise into 1/4-inch “planks” (I use one carrot per person). Cook them in a lightly greased cast iron skillet at high heat until you achieve charring. Turn the carrots and char on the other side.
Meanwhile, mix equal portions of honey and lemon juice in a bowl (1 tablespoon of each will work for 2 to 3 large carrots); I also add a few dashes of soy sauce to give it a salty/umami balance.
Remove carrots to a bowl or platter when done. Spoon honey/lemon dressing over carrots while warm. Top the carrots with goat cheese. Sprinkle with a little chopped fresh parsley, then serve.
Note: I pop the carrots under the broiler for a minute or so after I top with goat cheese. Entirely optional, however.
