Rooting For Tasty: Cooking in Cold Weather- A Recipe for Charred Carrots with Spicy Yogurt Sauce

I love the challenge of cooking vegetables in the dead of winter. It’s always tough to get out of the cold weather rut of long braises and hearty roasts, but you can always count on a good stock of root vegetables at the market.

There seems to be a trend sweeping across restaurant menus as of late, charred vegetables. Chefs have long pushed the envelope with ingredients like vegetable ash and techniques like live fire cooking, but lately the use of a Plancha and high temperature griddles have opened up a whole new genre of charred meats and vegetables.

The vaunted carrot, in all its colorful forms, makes the perfect muse for this cooking technique. It’s natural sugars, hearty stature and creamy texture when cooked are all qualities that lend themselves well to this recipe.
