Recipe type: Vegan
Cuisine: European
Serves: 1 jar
Ingredients
  • 4 carrots
  • 2 sheets nori
  • 1½ cups salt
  • For the marinade:
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 sheet of nori
  • 2 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • ½ tsp rice vinegar (optional)
  • 1 pinch smoked paprika
Instructions
  1. Pre-heat your oven to 180 degrees celsius.
  2. Cut 2 nori sheets in half lengthwise.
  3. Wash your carrots and leave them a little wet.
  4. Wrap a half sheet of nori around each carrot.
  5. Sprinkle salt onto the bottom of a small oven dish (just big enough to hold the carrots).
  6. Place the nori wrapped carrots onto the salt and then cover them completely in the rest of the salt. You want to make sure that there is salt on each side of each carrot and that each carrot is completely covered.
  7. Cook for 1.5 hours.
  8. Remove the carrots from salt and nori and use a sharp knife to carefully remove the skin from each carrot.
  9. Slice the carrots lengthwise into a smoked salmon like thickness.
  10. Put the slices of carrot into a jar.
  11. Whisk the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, paprika and rice vinegar (if using) in a bowl. Scrunch up the nori sheet into small pieces and add to the marinade.
  12. Pour the marinade into the jar of carrot pieces and stir it so it covers all of the carrots.
  13. Put a lid on the jar and place in the fridge for 2 days. After 2 days it is ready to eat.
