Ingredients
- 6-8 large carrots, unpeeled
- 200 ml extra virgin olive oil
- salt flakes and black pepper, to taste
- 300 ml orange juice
- 2 bulbs garlic, cut in half horizontally
- 1 small bunch thyme
- 1 small bunch rosemary
- 3 star anise
- 2 cinnamon sticks
- 20 g butter
Green sauce
- 2 bunches leafy greens (try chard, kale, sorrel or a mix), washed well, tough stalks discarded
- 4 green bird's eye chillies
- 2 makrut leaves
- 50 g ginger, roughly chopped
- 300 ml extra virgin olive oil
- 3 tsp Dijon mustard
- 250 ml (1 cup) white wine vinegar
- 1 tbsp fish sauce
- soy sauce, to season
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200˚C.
- Place the carrots in a large roasting dish, pour over the olive oil and season to taste. Bake until golden on all sides, turning regularly.
- Add the orange juice, garlic, herbs, spices, butter and 200 ml water and toss well. Reduce the oven temperature to 140˚C and roast, turning occasionally for another 30–40 minutes or until the carrots are tender and the liquid has reduced by two-thirds. You can also brown the carrots in a large frying pan on the stove top, then transfer to the roasting dish.
- Meanwhile, for the green sauce, place all the ingredients in a blender and blitz until smooth. Unless serving straight away, pour into an airtight jar and refrigerate for up to 1 month.
- Season the carrots and serve with some of the cooking liquid and the green sauce.
