Carrot Lox

By GuidingVegan

Ingredients

• dress:
• 3 thick, not too long carrots
• 1 tbs olive oil
• 2 tsp liquid smoke
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp rice vinegar
• dill
• to taste: vegan caviar, capers, onions

Preparation

Step 1

Place the carrots in the steamer, do not peel them. Steam for about 25 - 40 minutes (depending on the diameter of your carrots) until soft. Let cool.

Peel the carrots with a knife and cut them into thin slices. I do that with a knife and peel thin slices off around the carrots. When the carrots get too thin to cut around, cut the rest in thin slices, too. This way you have a great mix of big and small slices.

Combine oil, liquid smoke, salt and vinegar and mix with the carrots in an airtight container. Refrigerate for 3 days. Give it a juggle once in a while.

Dress the carrot lox on toast, baguette or bagels and garnish with fresh dill.

Notes
The thinner you cut the carrots, the more real will your lox experience be.
