INGREDIENTS

• 8 large carrots

• 1 cup low-sodium vegetable broth

• 2 teaspoons dry mustard

• ½ teaspoon ground coriander

• ½ of a red onion, finely chopped (¼ cup)

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Peel carrots and trim to 6 inches long. Trim wide end to make a consistent thickness. Place carrots in a large saucepan; add water to cover. Cover pan and bring to boiling; reduce heat to low. Cook carrots 8 to 10 minutes, until just tender. Drain well.

2. Place carrots in a large resealable plastic bag set in a shallow dish. For marinade, in a bowl combine the next 11 ingredients (through cloves) and ½ cup water. Pour over carrots; seal bag. Chill 4 to 24 hours, turning occasionally. Drain and discard marinade.

3. Grill carrots, covered, over medium-high 5 to 8 minutes or until grill marks start to appear, turning occasionally. Or place carrots in a foil-lined baking pan and bake at 450°F 8 to 10 minutes or until lightly browned on edges.

4. Place grilled carrots in buns. Top with red onion, mustard, and cucumber.
