Vegan Carrot Smoked "Salmon"
How to make a cruelty-free delicious version of smoked salmon
Equipment
- Spiraliser or Vegetable Peeler
- Muslin square
Ingredients
- 1 large Carrot - washed, not peeled
Cooking Broth
- 1 tbsp Seaweed - dried, of your choice (I like wakame)
- 1 tsp Soy Sauce
- ½ tsp smoked Paprika
- 2 cups Water
- 1 tsp Maple Syrup
- 1 tsp Salt
Marinade
- 1 tbsp Canola Oil
- 1 Lemon - juice
- grind of black pepper
- 1 sprig Dill
- 1 tsp Capers
Instructions
- Using your spiraliser, or vegetable peeler, carefully cut long thin strips of the carrot.
- Place your carrot in a pan and cover with the water.
- Place the seaweed into the square of muslin, tying into a little parcel and dropping in with the carrot.
- Add the maple syrup, paprika, soy sauce and salt.
- Bring the pan up to a gentle simmer and let the carrot gently bubble away for 10 minutes in its transformative broth.
- After 10 minutes, turn off, cover with a lid and leave to cool. Drain, discarding the seaweed.
- Spread the smoked carrot onto kitchen paper, letting it dry thoroughly.
To marinade the carrot
- Place your carrot into a small bowl with the capers, black pepper, dill and drizzle over the oil. Toss gently, clingfilm and leave to chill overnight at a minimum.
Please note that where the recipe asks for milk, butter or yogurt, this refers to any plant-based version that you prefer.
