JANUARY FOOD FESTIVAL: 24 CARROT GOLD

Each month, our Great Performances menus feature seasonal ingredients. It’s our way of celebrating the earth and bringing our special touch to every menu.

ROASTED HARISSA CARROTS

by Dana-Marie Moore, Executive Sous Chef

Carrots and coriander are related, so it’s no surprise that they taste so delicious together. Here, we’ve amped up the flavor with a sweet chili harissa blend for spice and warmth and sweetened with a touch of honey. The tart pops of pomegranate seeds and salty crunch of pistachios add even more delightful colors, textures, and flavors.

EMBRACE TIP:

Carrots are rich in beta-carotene, a carotenoid that the body converts to vitamin A. Vitamin A is involved in immune function, eye health and cell growth.
