Method

  • step 1

    Cut the carrots into ribbons with a vegetable peeler and set aside. Pour 500ml water into a large saucepan with the salt and bring to the boil. Add the carrot ribbons and teabags and remove from the heat. Leave to steep for 20 mins until the mixture is cold and the ribbons have softened. Pour into a smaller container and chill until needed. Once cold and ready to serve, strain the carrot ribbons, discard the brine and pat dry with kitchen paper or a clean tea towel.

  • step 2

    Spread the baguette slices with the cream cheese. Top each toast with a few carrot ribbons and a pinch of the dried seaweed, then season and serve.

Agree with the earlier comment here about the oily texture. After brining, I put the carrots into a dressing of simple vegetable oil, a touch more salt and a few drops of liquid smoke. Put this on a bagel with black pepper and a squeeze of lemon. Delicious!

This recipe is so easy and so good! Really pleasantly surprised. Makes a great Christmas canapé.

Tasty, easy and simple ! I left the carrots all afternoon in fridge in brine and the favour was great.

I stumbled across this today and was so intrigued I had to try it. It does a pretty good job of mimicking the smoky saltiness, but I missed the oiliness that you get with smoked salmon, so I dressed some ribbons with a couple of drops of olive oil, which overpowered it with its pepper notes a bit…
