Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams carrots
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 cups water
Instructions
Peel and slice the carrots into thin diagonal slices, about 1/4 inch thick.
Bring 4 cups of water to a boil in a medium-sized pot. Add the sliced carrots to the boiling water and blanch them for 3-4 minutes until just tender but still crisp.
Drain the carrots immediately and rinse them under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set them aside to cool completely.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, white wine vinegar, honey, minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped dill, salt, and black pepper to make the marinade.
Place the cooled carrots in a large mixing bowl or sealable container. Pour the marinade over the carrots, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Cover the bowl or seal the container tightly. Refrigerate the marinated carrots for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to develop.
Before serving, toss the carrots to distribute the marinade evenly. Transfer to a serving dish and enjoy as a side dish or salad topping.
