Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

1. Fill a pot with water (enough to cover the carrots) and bring it to a rolling boil.
2. Peel the carrots
3. Lower it in the pot of boiling water.
4. ONLY cook the carrots for 10 minutes, as you do not want to overcook it as it will get mushy.
5. In the unlikely event that it’s not soft enough, keep boiling until your carrots are fork-tender but NOT all the way through.
6. Meanwhile, use a large Ziplock bag and combine the capers, brine, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, liquid smoke, salt, and pepper in the bag.
7. When carrots are done, take them out and add them to a pot of cold water as this will stop the cooking process.
8. When you can handle the carrots, use a potato peeler, and start to shave off thin slices.
9. Mix the sauce in the Ziplock bag well.
10. Take the carrot slices and place them in the bag but make sure that they all well coated in your marinade.
11. When you seal the bag, do your best and remove as much air from the bag as possible and leave it on a plate in the fridge.
12. I left it for 2 days to ensure the flavor seeped into the carrots and get that nice smoky flavor.
13. You do not have to leave it that long as I did, but make sure by taste-testing it prior to serving.

Serving:

1. Slice your baguette and liberally spread it with vegan cream cheese
2. Take the strips and place them on top of the cheese spread
3. Add some marinated capers and decorate with fresh dill.

All that’s now left would be to start munching and enjoy it.

You can serve this Vegan Carrot Smoked Lox as a healthy vegan appetizer!

It is outstanding and perfect for Christmas or New Year as party food. I will for sure make this again.

You can serve the vegan carrot smokes lox after about 24 hours of marinating, although I prefer to let it sit for 2 days. I made these for a special occasion and wanted the smoky flavor to seep well into the carrots. The Lox can be stored in a refrigerator in the marinade for up to 4 days.

Smoked salmon

Smoked salmon is a preparation of salmon, typically a fillet that has been cured and hot or cold smoked. Due to its moderately high price, smoked salmon is considered a delicacy. Although the term lox is sometimes applied to smoked salmon, they are different products.
