Grilled and Pickled Carrots

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Carrots

    Wash and peel the carrots. Cut them into uniform sticks or rounds, about 1/2 inch thick.

  2. 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.

  3. 3

    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.

  4. 4

    Pickle the Carrots

    Place the remaining carrot pieces in a clean jar. Pour the pickling solution over the carrots, ensuring they are fully submerged. Add fresh herbs to the jar. Seal the jar and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or preferably overnight.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Garlic

    In a small skillet, lightly sauté the garlic cloves in olive oil over low heat until softened and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.

  6. 6

    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.
