For season 2 of Weekends with Yankee, we visited Chatham Bars Inn on Cape Cod for a farm-to-table dinner (part of a weekly summer dinner series open to the public) hosted by executive chef Anthony Cole with guest chef Colin Lynch of Bar Mezzana in Boston. This simple, flavorful roasted carrots recipe with herbed yogurt sauce was just one of the dinner’s many delicious dishes. For a prettier presentation, you can buy small (1/2-inch-thick) carrots with their tops attached. Trim off all but an inch of the stems, then pick and wash some of the delicate leaves for a garnish. Also, for the dinner at Chatham Bars Inn, Lynch used fennel pollen in the seasoning, but this can be difficult to find. Freshly crushed fennel seeds are a great substitute.
