Ingredients
- 6 carrots I use the biggest I have, otherwise twice the amount
- 2 tablespoon vegetable broth
- 2 teaspoon liquid smoke
- ½ teaspoon kelp powder
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- optional dill for garnish
Horseradish - cream dip:
- ⅔ cup 100g cashews, soaked
- ⅓ cup + 2 tbsp 100g water
- 2 tablespoon prepared horseradish vegan
- 1 teaspoon mustard Dijon
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup
Instructions
- First, steam the carrots with the skin. Use a sharp knife and poke the carrots, if the carrots are soft, they're done.
- In the meantime, put the remaining ingredients in a container with a lid that is large enough for all carrots and stir vigorously.
- If the carrots are soft enough, scrape the skin with a knife, it should be easy.
- Now use a peeler and peel thin carrot strips until the carrots are completely in strips. It doesn't matter whether the pieces are shorter or longer.
- Now add the carrots to the spice mixture and stir vigorously.
- That's it.
- However, I like to let them soak overnight or 2-3 days so that they really absorb the taste.
- You can sprinkle the carrots with dill before serving.
- Horseradish Dip
Place the soaked cashews, water, maple syrup and mustard in a high speed blender and blend until you have a cream. Put the cream in a bowl and stir in the prepared horseradish. Season the dip with sea salt and pepper.
