"Every Thanksgiving I look forward to the unexpected guests who end up at our table; it adds a dose of freshness to the traditions we cling to each year. This relish represents that joyful cacophony of the unexpected-salty, sweet, crunchy, buttery- and it takes roasted carrots to a new, exciting place," says Aarti.

Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 teaspoons coriander seeds
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon grated orange zest, plus 1/4 cup juice
1 teaspoon honey
1/2 teaspoon unseasoned rice vinegar
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 pounds carrots (preferably small), peeled and halved lengthwise
1/2 cup pitted green olives (preferably castelvetrano)
1/4 cup pitted kalamata olives, torn into pieces
3 tablespoons roasted pistachios
2 Medjool dates, pitted and chopped
1 teaspoon minced fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375˚ F. Toast the coriander seeds in a dry pan over medium heat until just smoking, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate to cool. Pound with a mortar and pestle (or use a heavy skillet!) to form a coarse powder.
  • Whisk 1/4 cup olive oil, the orange juice, honey, rice vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, a few grinds of pepper and the coriander in a bowl.
  • Toss the carrots with half of the dressing on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast, rotating the pan halfway through, until carrots are tender and starting to brown, 35 to 40 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the relish: Pulse the olives, pistachios, dates, orange zest, parsley, the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and a few grinds of pepper in a food processor to make a fine textured relish (don't let it turn into a paste!). Remove to a bowl.
  • Toss the roasted carrots with the remaining dressing and arrange on a serving platter. Scatter the relish on top.

Roasted Carrots with Pistachio Relish is a great side dish that is easy to make and packed with flavor. The carrots are roasted until tender and slightly caramelized, and the pistachio relish adds a nice crunch and nutty flavor.
