Baby carrots are so handy if you ever get a hold of some, mine are from Waitrose and they just save you the hassle of cutting and slicing regular sized ones. I don't know about you but I'm always whipping up something in the kitchen so if I can find something will make my job easier, I'm game.
This side dish has easily become a new favourite and you all know how much I love me some Chimichurri.

Carrots
1 pack baby carrots

What you'll need:
Griddle
Immersion Blender or Food Processor
Method:
Add all the chimichurri ingredients into a food processor or jug if using an immersion blender and blitz for 30 seconds - 1 minute, you don't want it to be a fine smooth sauce. Next, add the mayonnaise and mix it all together. you can then transfer into a sterilized glass jar to store your chimichurri mayo in the fridge.
Wash and peel your carrots, leaving the green stems. Drizzle with olive oil and lightly season with salt and pepper. Heat up your griddle and then transfer carrots over. Grill for about 5 minutes, turning halfway through. Once ready serve onto a plate and dress with your Chimichurri mayo. Garnish with chopped parsley and crushed cashew nuts.
