ROASTED CARROTS WITH YAJI SPICE RELISH
A fragrant combination of dried spices and aromatics, yaji, also known as suya spice, is as ubiquitous as salt and pepper in homes across Northern Nigeria and West Africa more broadly. Often used to cure meats and finish other dishes, the spice blend is made depending on taste and access to ingredients, so the recipe can range from home to home and vendor to vendor. Common among blends is the addition of a warming chile powder, ground ginger (although fresh is used in some cases) and pulverized peanuts. Here, a basic yaji spice blend is incorporated into a fresh, piquant relish of scallions, lemon zest and juice as a finish to liven up roast vegetables.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 400 degrees. Toss the carrots with 2 tablespoons oil, and season lightly with salt. Spread in an even layer on 2 baking sheets and roast until vegetables are tender and caramelized in spots, about 40 minutes, rotating sheet pans once halfway through the cooking process.
- As the carrots roast, make the relish: Grate the ginger into a large bowl and add the sliced scallions. Zest 1 lemon over the bowl, and squeeze in the juice from 1½ lemons. (Reserve the other half for serving.) Stir to combine. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Stir in the roasted peanut oil (if using), the yaji spice, paprika and parsley. Stir to combine,then taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
- While the vegetables are still warm, gently toss in the large bowl to coat with the relish. Transfer to a platter, and scatter the toasted peanuts over the top. Serve with reserved lemon half, if you like.
Tips for Making Carrots in Spiced Verjuice Sauce
- Choose the right carrots. Look for fresh, firm carrots with smooth skin and no blemishes.
- Peel the carrots thinly. This will help the carrots cook evenly and absorb the flavors of the sauce.
- Cut the carrots into even-sized pieces. This will ensure that they cook at the same rate.
- Sauté the carrots in butter. This will help them caramelize and develop a rich flavor.
- Add the spices and verjuice. The spices will add warmth and depth of flavor, while the verjuice will add a bright, acidic note.
- Simmer the carrots in the sauce until tender. This will take about 15-20 minutes.
- Serve the carrots hot. They can be served as a side dish or main course.
Conclusion
Carrots in spiced verjuice sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish. The carrots are tender and flavorful, and the sauce is rich and complex. This dish is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion.
