The carrots are roasted in a pan to concentrate their sweetness and flavor. We pair them here with two sauces, one cool and garlicky, the other spicy and fresh, for a harmonious combination. This dish is easy to prepare and can be served as a side or colorful addition to any buffet. Sauces can be prepared ahead and stored in the refrigerator (let them warm up to room temperature before use). Serves 4 to 6.

Note: Bonga sauce reminds me of zhoug (a Yemenite green paste). This sauce is great with grilled or roast vegetables, on a hamburger, or mixed into mayo for a salad dressing.

To make the yogurt sauce, combine 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt with 1 tablespoon of honey.
Half a teaspoon of finely grated or minced garlic, 1 tablespoon of olive oil
Fresh lemon juice, 2 teaspoons
Sea salt

Bonga herb Sauce:1/2 cup neutral-tasting oil2 tablespoons Bonga Spice2 tablespoons roughly chopped garlic 2 scallions, white and green parts,roughly chopped1 cup (generous) torn cilantro leavesand stems1/4 cup torn mint leaves Half a cup of flat parsley leaves, roughly chopped 1/4 teaspoon sea salt (heaping).

Carrots are a good source of vitamin A.
Olive oil 2 tablespoons
Peel 5 medium carrots (about
The 10 ounces is sliced diagonally.
1/8-inch-thick 'coins'
Black pepper, according to taste, 1/4 teaspoon Sea Salt,
1 Lemon

To garnish:
Optional: 2 tablespoons of roasted, salted Sunflower Seeds
Cilantro sprigs, optional

Make yogurt sauce Measure the ingredients and place them in a small bowl. Add a pinch salt. Mix until smooth. If needed, add salt or lemon juice. Refrigerate and cover for up to 2 days.

Prepare the Bonga Sauce Pour the oil and 2 tablespoons water into a blender jar, then add the rest of the ingredients. Blend on low speed and then quickly increase to high until the sauce becomes smooth. With a rubber spatula, scrape the sides of the sauce and continue to blend for several seconds. Transfer the mixture to a container with a lid and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
You can add more water to the sauce, but not too much. The consistency should be similar to ketchup.

Cook carrots Add oil to the pan and heat it on medium. Add the carrots to the skillet when it begins to shimmer, and stir or toss them to coat with oil. Cover the pan with a generous pinch of salt and black pepper and cook it for 5 minutes. Cover the pan, turn the carrots over, and then uncover it. Cook until the carrots become tender and caramelized (another 4-5 minutes). Turn off the heat, and sprinkle the zest of the lemon on the carrots. Slice a lemon wedge and squeeze some juice over the carrots. Mix through by stirring.

Arrange Spoon the yogurt sauce in the middle of the serving plate, and swirl it with the back of the spoon. Then, pile the carrots on the yogurt sauce and let it peek around the carrots. Sprinkle sunflower seeds on top of the carrots and liberally drizzle the herb sauce. Add decorative cilantro and serve the remaining Bonga Sauce alongside.

Can you put spice in a drink?

I love how spices bring flavour to food. But how do you make spices liven up when they are added to drinks?

Spices are wonderful because they can add depth and flavor to any beverage. From coffee to tea, hot chocolate to cocktails, there's nothing more satisfying than adding a dash of cinnamon or nutmeg to a glass of wine or beer.

But, since most recipes call to ground spices, you'll need whole spices. While this makes sense, it is costly, takes time and requires storage space.

Here is where the magic happens. With a little creativity, you can make your favorite spices easy to use in powdered form. To make tasty spiced drinks, you can combine them with your favourite beverages.

Two ways can you make powders. The first involves the grinding of whole spices to make fine powder. Another method is to use a mortar & pestle to grind the spices until they are finely ground.

You'll find it easier to make powder than whole spices, regardless of the method. The powder is stable so you don't run low on stock.

Mixing different spices can create new flavors. To make minty water, you can combine spearmint and peppermint leaves. You can also make spicy ginger-ginger tea by combining ginger and cardamom seeds.

Once you've learned how to make powdered spices from scratch, you can apply the same process to herbs. Some popular herbs include basil, oregano, rosemary, thyme, and sage.

The possibilities are limitless. Use powdered spices to give your beverages extra flavour or to enhance the taste of dishes such as soups, salads, and pasta.

How To

How to decide what spices to buy?

It is important to know how you can choose the right spices and herbs to cook. There are many options available, so how do you choose which ones to add in your pantry?

Three main factors should be considered when selecting spices: price, shelf life and flavour profile. Depending on whether you are cooking meat, fish, vegetables or pasta, the flavour profiles of spices will vary. Once you have decided on a category you will need to narrow your options based on the differences.

The shelf life of spices can also vary. Some spices keep forever, while some others are prone to deterioration quickly. Cayenne pepper has a long shelf life, while oregano is only good for two months. Also, the price. Spices can range anywhere from $1 per tablespoon to more than $100 per ounce. This means that you will need to strike a balance between quality and value.

Also, consider whether organic or not organic ingredients. Organic products are safer for the environment and contain less pesticides and chemicals than their conventional counterparts. They can be more expensive, so it's important to weigh the costs and the benefits.

Online shopping is the best method to ensure that you get the right spices for the kitchen. Online retailers provide comprehensive information on every product, including pricing, reviews and ratings.

Once you've narrowed down the list, it's possible to order directly from the retailer. After you have received your items, keep them safe in an airtight container away from heat or light.
