Dragon carrots are purple on the outside and orange on the inside. There are carrots spanning the color spectrum from yellow to red to purple. In the 1600s the orange carrots became popular as tribute to the Duke of Orange who faught for Dutch independence. Large sweet orange carrots were developed from small yellow and purple carrots.
However these purple carrots are sweet enought as they are. Tossed with cummin seeds, olive oil and salt, roasted at 350f until tender. Once cooled they are dressed in sorrel yogurt sauce.
