Ok, so with this being the NaBloPo whatever recipe month, I'm all over it. I'm going to try to post recipes as much as possible this month, with the exception of this weekend as I won't be home.
Anyway, summer veggies are in full swing here. Lots of fresh goodies and yummy dishes.
This weekend we made a smoked chicken with a special spice rub, a warm lemon basil potato salad, and ancho chile carrots. Everything balanced out rather well.
Ancho carrots:
Carrots, sliced lenghtwise
finely minced garlic, 2-3 cloves
olive oil
1/2 stick of butter
1-2 tsp ancho chile powder
juice of 1 lime
salt and pepper to taste
Melt the butter in the olive oil over med-high heat. Saute the garlic lightly to infuse the butter/oil. Sautee the carrots until just warmed but still crunchy. Season with salt, pepper, and the ancho chile powder. Take off of the heat and stir in the lime juice. Serve warm.

I'm always looking for something different to do with carrots. :)
Out of curiosity...what does "NaBloPo" stand for? I saw it on someone else's blog and couldn't figure it out.
National Blogging something or rather. I'm not quite sure but it motivates.
