Steamed Carrots With Lemon-Tahini Dressing

1. 1

   1. Fit a steamer basket in a wide-bottomed pot (such as a Dutch oven) and add enough water to just reach the bottom of the steamer. Bring the water to a boil and add about a quarter of the carrots in a snug layer. Cover the pot and steam the carrots until just tender, about 6 minutes. Transfer the carrots to a bowl and, working in batches, steam the remaining carrots. Set aside to cool slightly.
