Recipe of Dressed carrots
Vida Recetas Editorial
Dressed carrots are a classic of traditional Spanish cuisine, perfect as an appetizer, tapa, or side dish. This pickled carrot recipe, with a touch of cumin and paprika, is incredibly easy to make and the result is a flavorful and crunchy bite.
The process is simple: boil the carrots until tender, slice them, and mix with a mash of garlic, oregano, cumin, paprika, and salt. Then, cover with a mixture of water and apple cider vinegar, and let marinate in the fridge for 24 hours. This resting time is key for them to absorb all the aromas and acquire that characteristic acidic and spicy touch.
They are ideal to make ahead, as they keep for several days in the fridge and their flavor even improves over time. Also, they are a light and healthy option, perfect as a starter or to accompany meats, fish, or rice dishes.
If you are looking for a different appetizer, full of tradition and with a homemade touch, these dressed carrots will love you.
