Grilled and Pickled Carrots
Method
Preparation Steps
- 1
Prepare the Carrots
Wash and peel the carrots. Cut them into uniform sticks or rounds, about 1/2 inch thick.
- 2
Grill the Carrots
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. In a bowl, toss carrot pieces with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated. Place the carrots on the grill and cook for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are tender and have grill marks. Remove from grill and set aside.

Make the Pickling Solution
In a small saucepan, combine the white vinegar, sugar, water, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Serve
Arrange the grilled carrots on a serving platter. Drizzle with pistou and top with the sautéed garlic. Serve the pickled carrots alongside for a refreshing contrast.
