ROASTED CARROTS WITH YAJI SPICE RELISH



Roasted Carrots With Yaji Spice Relish image

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.

Time 50m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 pounds carrots, scrubbed, cut into 3- to 4-inch pieces, halved lengthwise if thick
1/4 cup neutral oil, such as grapeseed or vegetable oil
Kosher salt (Diamond Crystal)
1 (1½-inch) piece fresh ginger, scrubbed
1 cup thinly sliced scallions (from about 5 scallions)
2 lemons
1 tablespoon roasted peanut oil (optional)
1 tablespoon yaji spice (see Tip)
1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/4 cup toasted unsalted peanuts, roughly chopped

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:

  • Choose the right carrots: Look for carrots that are firm, smooth, and brightly colored. Avoid carrots that are limp, bruised, or have blemishes.
  • Roast the carrots at a high temperature: This will help them caramelize and develop a delicious flavor. Aim for a temperature of at least 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Toss the carrots with oil and seasonings: This will help them roast evenly and prevent them from drying out. Use a combination of olive oil, salt, and pepper, or add other spices like garlic powder, cumin, or paprika.
  • Roast the carrots until they are tender: This will usually take about 20-30 minutes, but the exact time will depend on the size and thickness of your carrots.
  • Make the pistachio relish while the carrots are roasting: This will save you time and allow the flavors to develop. Simply combine chopped pistachios, lemon zest, parsley, and olive oil in a bowl.
  • Serve the carrots immediately: They are best enjoyed hot out of the oven, topped with the pistachio relish.

Conclusion:

Roasted carrots with pistachio relish is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The carrots are tender and flavorful, while the pistachio relish adds a bright and nutty flavor. This dish is sure to impress your guests, and it is also a healthy and nutritious way to enjoy your vegetables.
