This elegant Sesame-Ginger Carrots dish makes an excellent side to any meat or fish and is a striking dish for entertaining. It works well hot, or at room temperature. The tahini (sesame) dressing is just so more-ish and perfectly complements the natural sweetness of the carrots, which are high in pro-vitamin A and antioxidant carotenoids. I also sneak some turmeric in there for extra goodness!
