Citrus-Dill Carrots and Sweet Potatos
- 2 sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1 in cubes
- 5 -6 large carrots, cut into similar-sized pieces to potatoes
- 12 large onion, sliced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 3 teaspoons dried dill
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme, I used powder
- 12 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 12 cups vegetable stock (or chicken stock)
- 14 cup fresh lemon juice (juice of one lemon)
- 14 cup fresh orange juice (juice of one orange)
- 2 teaspoons honey
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- salt and pepper
- After cutting up the veggies, put the carrots and sweet potatoes in a baking or casserole dish, arranging them in more or less one layer (they can pile up a bit, but not much).
- Drizzle with half of the oil.
- Squeeze the lemon and orange over the veggies, add about a quarter of the stock, some salt and pepper, about half the dill, the cayenne pepper and the honey.
- Stir everything around a bit, and cover the dish in foil or plastic wrap, and put in the refrigerator.
- Heat the rest of the oil in a small frying pan over medium-low.
- Add the onions and saute for about five minutes.
- Add the garlic and cook for a couple more minutes.
- Season with the thyme, salt and pepper as you're cooking.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- Once the onions and garlic are soft, take them off the heat and let them cool a bit.
- Take out the baking dish in the mean time and stir everything around again.
- Then add the onions and garlic and mix around again.
- Add the rest of the stock and dill and put it back in the refrigerator until your oven is heated up.
- Take the foil off and put the dish in the oven.
- Check it at ten minutes to move things around to keep the onions from burning, and keep cooking and checking for ten minute intervals until the potatoes are soft.
- The liquid shouldn't evaporate out completely.
- When you can cut the potatoes in half with your spoon or spatula, it's ready (feel free to cook it longer if you like mushier veggies).
- Spoon out over rice and serve.
