Grilled Carrots With Herby Coconut Yogurt And Spicy Beet Vinaigrette Recipes

Steps:

• Make the Beet Vinaigrette:
• Put the beet in a small mixing bowl, season with the salt, stir, and set aside for 10 minutes to soften and season the beet. Combine the vinegar, garlic, and chile in a small saucepan, bring all to a boil over high heat, then lower heat to gently simmer for 1 minute, just to cook off the garlic's raw flavor. Pour the hot mixture over the beets, stir, and let sit at room temperature for 1 hour. Stir in the olive oil.
• Make the Herby Coconut Yogurt:
• Roughly chop the herbs. In a small bowl, combine the yogurt, most of the herbs, the scallion, and the salt. Use a Microplane to grate the lime zest into the bowl, then halve the lime and squeeze in the juice. Stir well.
• Grill the carrots and make the dish:
• Fire up a grill to cook with medium-high heat. On a plate, rub the carrots with the avocado oil to just barely coat them (excess oil will lead to flare-ups and unpleasant flavor). Season the carrots with the salt, toss, and grill, turning them occasionally and moving them to a cooler part of the grill if they get dark before they're tender, until lightly charred and fully tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Let them cool for a couple of minutes.
• Spread the yogurt on a platter and top with the carrots. Spoon on the pickle-y beets first, then drizzle on about 2 tablespoons of the vinaigrette. Sprinkle with the remaining herbs and serve.
