Ingredients
 

  • 3-4 (400 g) carrots approx. 1 pound
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 sheet Nori sliced into small pieces
  • 2 tsp liquid smoke
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce or tamari
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp brine from capers
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice or lime juice

Instructions
 

  • Wash and peel carrots, then slice them lengthwise into thin strips using a vegetable peeler.
  • Bring a pot of water to a boil. Stir in salt and add carrots. Cook for 3 minutes over medium heat until carrots are slightly soft but still have a bite. Drain over a colander and let them cool for 5-10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, mix all ingredients for the marinade in a large bowl.
  • Add slightly warm carrots to the bowl with the marinade and toss gently.
  • Refrigerate for at least one hour up to overnight. The longer it’s marinated, the more flavorful it will be. → I recommend refrigerating the carrots in an airtight container. Turn the container from time to time on the head to make sure the marinade is evenly distributed.
  • Serving suggestion: With homemade bagels, dairy-free cream cheese, horseradish, capers, shallots, and fresh dill!

Notes

  • Keeps fresh for up to one week. Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. 
  • Liquid Smoke is essential for a smoky taste and can’t be replaced!
