“A lighthearted food tour around the Mediterranean … a delight to read, amusing, witty, and informative.”

Oven-roasted Carrots
 
Carrots
Olive oil
Thyme
3 shallots cut in quarters
Salt and pepper
 
Wash the carrots but don’t peel them. Place them on a pan lined with parchment baking paper and sprinkle with thyme, salt, and pepper. Cut shallots in quarters and lay on top. Drizzle with a lot of olive oil. Bake in 180 degree Celsius oven for 30 to 45 minutes if carrots are small, 1 hour if they are large. Test by poking with a knife.
