Yukon Carrot Salad with Olives and Walnuts Cooked in Coconut Milk

Fresh batch of yukon carrots arrived last week from Canada, these carrot grow in a dense rich soil at a higher altitude making carrots more intense and sweet. Even better they have been harvested early meaning they are smaller and super tender when baked/poached. I've combined them with walnuts cooked in coconut milk which give a creamy bitter taste and black olives for saltiness. Very health and visual nor is it boring to behold.
Also a massive thank you to Etienne who has once again taken some amazing pictures, this one in particular is one of my favourite shots.

600g yukon carrots
300ml orange juice
3 cloves garlic
12 sprigs thyme
2 dried red chillies
2 bay leaves
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon sea salt
50ml extra virgin olive oil
200g pitted black olives
100g halved walnuts
150ml coconut milk
70g rocket washed

METHOD:
Trim the tops off carrots and wash then place in deep baking tray with orange juice, thinly sliced garlic, torn thyme and red chillies, bay leaves, honey, salt and olive oil. Roughly mix together and cover in foil, bake in oven set at 180oC for 30 minutes. After the 30minutes roughly mix carrots around in tray and bake uncovered for another 20 minutes. Place walnuts and coconut in small sauce pan and bring to the boil over high heat and cook for 5-7 minutes till milk thickens and coats walnuts. Once carrots are cooked put aside to cool, place olives in food processor and blend for about 5 seconds till roughly diced.
To construct salad you can either make one large platter or make individual plates. On the base lay out rocket leaves then drape over carrots with a little excess cooking liquid and pieces of chilli. Garnish salad with walnuts and a good sprinkling of olives and serve as soon as possible.
