Method
Add all the broth ingredients to a large saucepan big enough to fit the carrots in & place it over a medium heat. When the broth starts to simmer add the carrots. Let the carrots cook away in the broth for 15-20 minutes. Meanwhile mix together all the tabbouleh ingredients in a large mixing bowl & set aside until your carrots are ready.
When the carrots are tender, remove them from the broth. Allow the broth to continue to bubble away & reduce down & thicken slightly.
Place a large non stick pan or griddle pan over a medium heat and add a little oil. When the pan is hot add the carrots and sauté them for 3-4 minutes or until caramelised.
Serve the carrots on top of a bed of tabbouleh garnished with a drizzle of tahini, lemon zest, crushed pistachio nuts & balsamic vinegar.
