Need a terribly simple, yummy side dish to bring to a potluck this weekend? This one screams “Halloween is coming” in all its vivid orange and punchy green glory. Happy Weekend, Vegan MoFoers!
INGREDIENTS
- cups carrots, sliced into matchsticks
- 1/4 cup mild vegetable broth OR orange juice OR apple juice*
- 1/2 cup fresh mint leaves, chiffonaded
- 2 tsp mustard seeds
METHOD
1. Add carrots and broth (or juice) to a medium sauce pan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 5-7 minutes , until carrots are tender crisp.
2. Drain and return to pot. Toss carrots with mustard seeds and mint. Serve immediately.
NOTES
*I don’t have a big sweet tooth, so I prefer using broth, but if you choose to juice it, a tiny splash of rice wine vinegar makes a nice finisher for this dish. If you’re brothy like me, a sprinkle of smoked rock salt is tops. Even better? Try black salt for even more Halloween flair!
