Carrot Salad Recipe

Ingredients:

650g (1 1/2 lbs) Carrots
1 tbsp Olive Oil
1/2 tbsp Red Wine Vinegar
Juice of 1 Lemon
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
Pinch of black pepper
Pinch of Paprika
1/2 tsp sea salt
1 tbsp finely-chopped fresh parsley

Method:

Cut the carrots lengthways into four quartered sections. If they're very long, cut across so that you get eight pieces from each carrot. Put the carrots into lightly salted boiling water and cook for about 5 minutes, until they're starting to become tender but are still crisp. Drain the carrots.

Meanwhile, mix the olive oil, vinegar, lemon juice, garlic, pepper, and paprika together in a clean saucepan. Add the carrot segments and the salt and cook gently on a very low heat for about 5 minutes, turning all the while, until all the flavours are all impregnated into the carrots. Remove, pile into a dish, and sprinkle with the parsley. Leave to cool before serving.
