BERBERE ROASTED CARROTS & FENNEL WITH ORANGES



Berbere Roasted Carrots & Fennel with Oranges image

This side starts as something very familiar--roasted vegetables. But the berbere makes the sweet carrots and fennel taste earthier and the orange gives the dish a sprightly edge. Two little changes, but so much complexity. When you drive through Ethiopia, you will see women on the roadsides selling chiles, ginger, and garlic. Others sell spices--coriander, fenugreek, allspice, cardamom. These are some of the ingredients you need to make berbere, the spice mix that permeates every aspect of Ethiopian food. It is a deep red, the color of red clay. It's not a fiery mix. Cooked long and slow, berbere is earthy; added later, it can be lively and bright. When I discovered it, I couldn't wait to begin playing with it. I hope you will, too.

This is not your average roasted vegetable recipe. With unexpected additions like sherry vinegar, paprika, and mint-and the nutty addition of spiced pecans-this dish is a holiday must-have if you want to impress your food-fanatic friends.

Provided by American Pecans

Number Of Ingredients 13

Main Dish
2 Pounds of small carrots (about 2 bunches), peeled, cut into 3-inch pieces
2 Large red onions, each cut through root end into 8 wedges
1 Fennel bulb, cut into ½ - inch wedges
4 Tbsp. of pecan or olive oil
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
1 Tsp. of coriander seeds, coarsely chopped
½ Tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
½ Tsp. Hungarian hot paprika (optional)
2 Tbsp. of sherry vinegar or red wine vinegar
¾ Cup of raw pecans pieces
1 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
2 Tbsp. torn mint leaves

Steps:

  • Main Dish
  • Preheat oven to 425°. Place carrots on a rimmed baking sheet and onions and fennel on another rimmed baking sheet. (Make sure to give them plenty of room, which is key to roasted veggies with nicely browned edges.) Drizzle vegetables with 2 Tbsp. of pecan or olive oil, dividing evenly; season with salt and pepper. Roast, tossing occasionally, until golden brown and tender, 20-25 minutes for carrots and 35-45 minutes for onions and fennel. Let cool.
  • Meanwhile, cook pecans, coriander seeds, crushed red pepper flakes, paprika, and remaining 2 Tbsp. of pecan or olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat, stirring often, until oil is gently bubbling around seeds and spices are fragrant (be careful not to burn), about 2 minutes. Let cool. Stir in red wine vinegar and lemon juice; season vinaigrette with salt and pepper.
  • Combine roasted carrots, fennel, and onions onto the same baking sheet, drizzle vinaigrette over, and toss to coat well; transfer to a platter.
  • Just before serving, re-toss vegetables to pull up any dressing that may have settled at the bottom of the platter and scatter torn mint over top.

BERBERE ROASTED CARROTS & FENNEL



BERBERE ROASTED CARROTS & FENNEL image

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 tablespoon RawSpiceBar's Freshly Ground Berbere
1 pound carrots, peeled & cut into 1-inch pieces
4 fennel bulbs, cut horizontally into 1/2-inch thick slices, fronds reserved
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/3 cup mint, freshly chopped
1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400ºF. Toss carrots and fennel with olive oil, salt, pepper and RawSpiceBar's Berbere until well coated. Place on foil-lined baking sheet or roasting pan & roast for 20 minutes. Turn vegetables & roast for an additional 10 minutes, or until tender with a fork.
  • Remove from oven & let cool, toss with chopped mint and serve. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Choose the right carrots: Look for young, tender carrots with smooth skin and no blemishes. Avoid carrots that are too thick, as they may be woody.
  • Use fresh fennel: Fennel bulbs should be firm and have a bright green color. Avoid fennel that is wilted or has brown spots.
  • Roast the vegetables at a high temperature: This will help to caramelize the carrots and fennel and give them a delicious flavor.
  • Toss the vegetables with olive oil and seasonings before roasting: This will help to prevent them from drying out and add flavor.
  • Roast the vegetables until they are tender but still have a little bit of a bite: Overcooked vegetables will be mushy and bland.
  • Serve the vegetables immediately: Roasted carrots and fennel are best served hot out of the oven.

Conclusion:

Roasted carrots and fennel are a delicious and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed on their own or as part of a larger meal. They are easy to make and can be roasted in just 30 minutes. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy side dish, give roasted carrots and fennel a try!
