Method

  • step 1

    Heat the oil in a saucepan over a medium heat. Add the shallot and a pinch of salt, and cook for 6 mins until softened. Stir in the garlic and caraway seeds and cook for 1 min more, then add the carrot and veg stock, bring to a boil and simmer for 12 mins.

  • step 2

    Once the carrots are completely soft, drain them (reserve the liquid) and blitz to a smooth purée – add a tbsp of the reserved stock initially, but use more if necessary to get the desired consistency. Season and leave to cool. The purée can be made a day ahead and kept in the fridge.

  • step 3

    To serve, spoon the purée – or, if you want to be extra fancy, transfer it to a piping bag and pipe it – onto the oatcakes and top each with a little dill and a veg crisp.

This was so unusual. I used seeded beetroot crackers & piped the carrot mix on top, then added the vegetable crisp. It looked so beautiful & tasted really clever too. Added a couple of tuna & olive purée to contrast - really professional results & easy!

I made this for a cocktail party for 30 - it was fantastic. I made the puree the day before, and to be honest I didn't like it. But, once on the crackers, with the crips and the scattering of dill...really, really terrific. Use a pastry bag or similar if you have to make a lot - it's too…
