The bitterness in this black sesame paste is the perfect contrast to sweet roasted carrots.

had kicking around in the fridge from some earlier recipe testing, and make a quick dressing from it.

Black sesame paste is made from unhulled, roasted sesame seeds and has a dark and nutty depth with a hint of bitterness . I thought I could turn it into something delicious by spiking it with a few herbs and spices and rounding it out with cream, smoothing its edges while making it more rich. It did not work. I found myself staring into a bowl of sludge that looked like cement and tasted probably about the same. I needed to leave for my dinner right away, but I also needed to finish the recipe.

In a panicked rush I whipped around the kitchen, scooping fresh black sesame paste into a mixing bowl and stirring in a more simple complement of ingredients: salt, fresh lemon juice, and olive oil. It was jet black, had a more assertive flavor thanks to the removal of the cream, and hit a perfect balance of richness and tartness. Simplicity is often the best route.

Drizzled onto the bright orange roasted carrots, the dressing became a visually striking component. A little parsley sprinkled on top plus some grated lemon zest finished it off. The result doesn't just look cool, it tastes great, too, leveraging the bitter black sesame paste against the sweet carrots.

It was so good I ate the whole plate, then raced to my father-in-law's birthday dinner not even the slightest bit hungry.
