Marinated Carrots
This marinated carrot recipe was inspired from the restaurants in the Algarve in Portugal. It is the best way I have ever eaten carrots.
Ingredients
- 5-6 carrots
- 2 Tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
- 2 cloves garlic, minced very very fine
- 3 Tablespoons olive oil
- 1 Tablespoon white wine vinegar
- salt & pepper
Directions
- Bring a medium pot of water to boil with 1 teaspoon of salt.
- Wash and peel carrots.
- Slice them and boil them in salted water until tender. Do not overcook.
- Meanwhile finely mince the garlic and cilantro and mix together with the oil and vinegar. These need to be ready as soon as the carrots are cooked.
- Drain the carrots and immediately add the garlic, oil and vinegar while they are still boiling hot so that the garlic can cook a little in the heat.
- Add salt, pepper to taste and mix everything together really well. Leave to cool. You can give them a good stir while they are cooling to make sure the carrots absorb plenty of the oil & vinegar.
- Serve warm or slightly cool.
