1 teaspoon dried Mexican oregano
1 teaspoon cumin seeds

DILL-SPICED CARROTS



Dill-Spiced Carrots image

Provided by Ruth A. Matson

Categories     Herb     Side     Carrot     Sour Cream     House & Garden

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 5

8 young carrots
1 cup dill pickle juice
2 tablespoons fresh cut dill
1 tablespoon minced chives
1 cup sour cream

Steps:

  • Scrape and trim the carrots and quarter them lengthwise. Simmer them in the dill pickle juice until they can be easily pierced with a fork, about 20 to 25 minutes. They will not soften, but will stay pleasantly crunchy. Chill overnight in the pickle juice.
  • To serve, drain off the liquid and sprinkle the herbs on the carrots. Pass the sour cream in a separate bowl. Dill-Spiced Carrots should not be served on lettuce, but used as a salad garnish for cold chicken or a platter of cold cuts.

Tips:

  • Choose the right carrots. Look for firm, brightly colored carrots with no blemishes. Younger carrots will have a sweeter flavor.
  • Peel and cut the carrots evenly. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Use fresh dill. Dried dill will not have the same flavor.
  • Toast the cumin seeds. This will bring out their flavor.
  • Use a good quality olive oil. This will add a rich flavor to the dish.
  • Don't overcook the carrots. They should be tender but still have a slight crunch.

Conclusion:

Dill Spiced Carrots are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. They are healthy, flavorful, and can be served with a variety of main courses. The dill and cumin seeds add a unique flavor to the carrots that makes them a standout dish. Whether you are looking for a simple side dish or a more flavorful option, Dill Spiced Carrots are a great choice.
