Crisp Carrot Julienne Pickles: A Deliciously Approachable Carrot Dish with a Different Texture
The charm of using the same ingredients with a different cut. Enjoy this wonderfully textured carrot pickle that’s easy to eat and delicious.
Main Ingredients
- 470g julienned carrots
- 5g salt (approximately 1% of the carrot’s weight)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, wash the carrots thoroughly. Prepare about 470g of carrots and julienne them finely using a mandoline or a knife. In a bowl, toss the julienned carrots with 5g of salt and let them sit for about 10 minutes to draw out moisture. This step helps to achieve a crisp texture. The salt amount should be around 1% of the carrot’s weight.
Step 2
After 10 minutes, gently squeeze out any excess water from the carrots and place them in a clean bowl. Add 5 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar (you can substitute with regular fermented vinegar if you don’t have apple cider vinegar), 4 tablespoons of plum extract, and 1 tablespoon of honey. Mix everything well to ensure the dressing evenly coats the carrots. This combination creates a sweet and tangy flavor that will infuse into the carrots.
Step 3
Finally, for an added touch of freshness, you can stir in a bit of lemon juice, if desired. Mix everything together thoroughly so the dressing is well distributed. You can enjoy the pickles immediately, or for an even more refreshing taste, chill them in the refrigerator. Store the prepared pickles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1-2 weeks.
