Carrot Miso Ginger Puree / Sauce / Dressing

07/09/2017 by Gina Leave a Comment

I absolutely love miso!  For me miso contains all the flavours that I love, especially sweet and salty (for more information on Miso see here).

When I was recently doing some lunches with my dear friend Andriana (see here), I wanted a sauce or paste that would go with lots of different types of dishes, and would cater to different diet regimes.  Carrots have such a wonderful colour and flavour so I wanted to utilise them in some way.

So this is the condiment that I came up with, and I love it!  It keeps in the fridge for up to two weeks, and is delicious just spread on a piece of toasted sourdough, is great drizzled over salad greens, used as a dip for a veggie platter, or spread on a plate onto which you place the main component of your dish.  It is so versatile!

I kept the recipe quite mild in terms of spice as not everyone likes heat in their dishes, but if you prefer a bit of spice consider increasing the amount of chilli (like I do!).

To bake the carrots I always do more than I need so that I have extra for other uses … so peel the carrots, cut into large chunks, drizzle with a little olive oil and sea salt flakes, and bake at 180 degrees fan forced for 40 minutes … they should just be starting to get a little colour by then (and that equals flavour).  Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely before making the sauce.  You can do this the day before and keep them in the fridge, or if you are already baking other veggies for dinner, then just add the carrots to the baking dish and put them aside to make the sauce the next day.

  4. Taste for seasoning and add salt and pepper as desired
