Cheese cream

Mash the cheese in a bowl and combine with the yoghurt, lime zest and pepper. Cover and refrigerate until serving.

Combine the honey, oil and the rest of the ingredients. Season to taste.

Boil the carrots in lightly salted water for approx. 3 min. Drain well in a colander. Heat a grill pan nice and hot – about 3 min. Grill the carrots on the grill pan for about 10 min – turning occasionally – until golden. Brush with some of the glaze during the last 2 min. Drizzle more glaze over the carrots in the serving dish. Sprinkle with salt flakes and mint.
