Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

8 medium carrots, peeled, trimmed
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon adobo sauce from can of chipotle chiles in adobo
1/2 teaspoon honey
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup mayonnaise, divided
1/4 cup fresh lime juice, divided
1/2 small red onion
1/2 small head of savoy cabbage (about 10 ounces), thinly sliced (about 6 cups)
1 (15-ounce) can white beans, drained
1/3 cup coarsely chopped cilantro, plus 3 tablespoons whole leaves
Vegetable oil (for grill)
4 hot dog buns
2 tablespoons Corn Nuts

Steps:

  • Combine carrots, maple syrup, soy sauce, adobo sauce, and 1 cup water in a deep, large saucepan. Cover and cook over medium-high heat 10 minutes. Uncover, reduce heat to medium-low, and continue to cook, shaking pan occasionally, until liquid is completely reduced and carrots are coated in glaze, 2-3 minutes more.
  • Meanwhile, whisk honey, salt, pepper, 1/2 cup mayonnaise, and 3 Tbsp. lime juice in a large bowl until smooth. Thinly slice half of onion to yield about 1/4 cup. Add onion, cabbage, beans, and 1/3 cup cilantro to bowl and stir to combine.
  • Prepare a grill for medium-high heat or heat a grill pan or cast-iron skillet over medium-high; oil grate or pan. Grill carrots, turning once, until browned and slightly charred, about 2 minutes on each side. Transfer carrots to a plate. Toast buns until golden brown, about 30 seconds. Transfer buns to plate.
  • Finely chop remaining half of onion to yield 3 Tbsp. Mix remaining 1/4 cup mayonnaise and 1 Tbsp. lime juice in a small bowl until smooth.
  • Nestle 2 carrots into buns with large ends on opposite sides. Drizzle with mayonnaise mixture, then top with finely chopped onion, Corn Nuts, and 3 Tbsp. cilantro leaves. Serve with coleslaw alongside.
  • Do Ahead
  • Carrots and slaw can be made 3 days ahead. Store separately in airtight containers and chill.

TANGY CARROT SLAW



Tangy Carrot Slaw image

from www.npr.org: "A traditional South Indian recipe, red or orange beets can be substituted for carrots for a variation of this slaw. This salad packs a punch with its tartness from the sharp lime and the heat from the jalapenos. This is a colorful, pretty slaw. A cup of grated mango can be substituted for the lime." asafetida powder (also known as hing) is available at any Indian grocer
