INGREDIENTS

800 g carrots

20 g butter (softened)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1 handful fresh chives (finely chopped)

INSTRUCTIONS

1
First, bring salted water to a boil in a large pot and preheat your grill.
2
Wash all the carrots, remove the stems, and halve them lengthwise. Then, place them in boiling water and cook over medium heat for 8–10 minutes (depending on the size of the carrots). The carrots should still be slightly crisp after cooking.
3
While the carrots are cooking, prepare the mustard dip. Then cover it with cling film and place it in the refrigerator. After cooking, immediately chill the carrots rapidly (preferably in a bowl with ice, or under cold running water). Transfer the prepared carrots to the hot grill and grill vigorously for 8–9 minutes. Turn them at least once during grilling.
4
Meanwhile, prepare the marinade: In a large bowl, combine thyme, butter, oil, lemon zest, salt, and pepper and mix everything together.
5
Once the carrots are browned, transfer them from the grill to the bowl with the marinade and mix thoroughly so that they are fully coated. Then, serve them on a plate with the mustard dip, sprinkle with chives, and serve.

Tip

Grilled carrots are an excellent side dish for meat. You can also sprinkle the finished carrots with Balkan cheese or feta cheese.
