Coffee has been integral to the sanity of the Van der Wat family for many years. We’ve come a long way from shipping coffee from a roastery in Port Elizabeth and brewing it in an old Krups filter machine. Now I co-own my own roastery, Roast Re:public, which roasts great coffee and half of the profits go directly to schools in rural areas. Our father now has a full barista setup and trades at markets and shows. It’s only natural that we’d incorporate coffee into our cooking. We’ve recently discovered that cumin, one of our favourite spices, complements coffee wonderfully. – Leandri
Coffee And Cumin-Roasted Carrots – Extracted from TWO by Seline & Leandri van der Wat (Struik Lifestyle)
Brussels sprouts and carrots are a regular feature in my kitchen and so I am always looking at new ways to serve them. I just love the baby rainbow carrots that I can get at my local store but I don’t usually buy them unless I have something specific to make with them. The recipe calls for the Brussels sprouts to be deep fried, and you can certainly do that if you want to. But, I am not a huge fan of deep frying anything. More to do with the fact that I will only use the oil once and I find it such a waste. Of course, the dogs don’t agree with me as I filter the oil and add it to their meals. I also love cumin so that made choosing this recipe to test from Two an easy choice. I had beef short ribs that I intended braising for dinner and I knew that the coffee flavour would enhance the dish if I served it all together, and I was not wrong. You do not have to serve these with a casserole as they are perfect as a side dish to roast chicken and can be served cold with a honey vinaigrette as a salad.

Roasted Brussels Sprouts With Coffee And Cumin Carrots
The recipe called for me to drizzle over the remaining honey in the frying pan over the carrots, but there was none left in the pan. I decided that I would serve my vegetables as a side dish for my braised beef ribs. I tossed them into the gravy from the ribs to give them a good coating, and to meld the flavours together.

I love roasted vegetables. It’s healthy and tasty. I’m not a big fan of brussels sprouts but I’m sure this recipe will work with other vegetables. http://doreensstylediary.com Doreen’s Style Diary sharing the blog ♥ A New Blessing
Carrots and Brussels Sprouts is a nightmare scenario dish for me. I couldn’t detest them more! I do like the sound of the coffee/cumin pairing though and could see it used as a rub or dressing on other dishes to good effect. Having made my first statement, I’ve pinned that top picture as it looks amazing. Fiona @TIFFIN bite sized food adventures sharing the blog ♥ A-Z Guidebook: Jordan, Petra

I am so sorry that these are your worst vegetables! But, the flavours work well together so try them as a meat rub 🙂
I don’t think I could convince Peter to eat B. Sprouts, but it does look like a delicious recipe. Thanks for sharing, Tandy.
It is a pity you cannot get him to try this Liz xox

This sounds so intriguing with the coffee and the cumin, great sounding recipe!
It was really good!
We are big fans of roasted brussels sprouts, especially when they are roasted in some balsamic vinegar.
That is a great idea for me to try this week 🙂
