    Method

    • step 1

      Peel and trim the carrots and beetroot, then coarsely grate both on a grater â wear rubber gloves if you donât want pink hands! Alternatively, use a food processor fitted with a grating plate. Place the grated vegetables in a bowl, add the shallots.
    • step 2

      Heat the cumin seeds in small pan until they are hot and smell pungent. Remove from the heat and scatter over the vegetables. Add the olive oil, vinegar and parsley, then toss well. Leave to marinate for at least 15mins before serving.

    question

    Can I make this on advance and, if so, how far ahead?

    Spot on. Piled this with grilled mackerel on a brioche with creme fraiche and a touch of horseradish. Beautiful. Great on its own too.

    Very more-ish. Used frozen parsely and balsamic vinegar as that's what I had. Mine looked a lot wetter than this, very juicy beetroot, but still gorgeous to eat.
