this is crazy easy, has approximately no fat, can be made in any quantity, and keeps well for several days. and it has no mayo, which is actually the point as i'm not so keen on mayo in most circumstances.
carrots
applesauce (or apple puree if the italians take after the english)
orange juice and/or pineapple juice (i usually use orange, but a splash of pineapple helps)
sultanas or craisins (or chunks of apple)
mix the applesauce and the juice (in about a 3:2 ratio, to be adjusted to attain desired consistency).
add dried fruit and let sit (rehydrates fruit) whilst you
(peel and) grate the carrots.
stir fruit mixture.
pour fruit mixture over carrots and stir.
let marinate a few minutes to a few hours (depending on how hungry you are - it gets better as it sits for a bit)
eat.
store any extra in an airtight container in the fridge.
will keep well for about three days, less well thereafter.
ok, when i'm just making this for me, i use about two big carrots, about half a cup of applesauce/juice combination, and a handful of fruit. usually makes about two good-sized servings in my experience.
to make it for more people, grate more carrots and make more fruit mixture (remember you can always add more of any ingredient to acheive your favorite balance)

this sounds yummy! unfortunately, i have not yet seen applesauce (or puree), craisons, or found orange juice that isn't horrifyingly sweetened, so I don't know if I will be able to make this while here, but I will keep an eye out in case I find the pieces. Thank you for posting a recipe just for me!
ReplyDeleteAlso, do you have any clue how we use the ryanair tickets we have bought online? since we only have a little over 2 weeks until visiting Will, I assume we should figure this out. As it is, I'm somewhat confused by the system... any ideas?
