VEGAN SMOKED SALMON (VEGAN CARROT LOX)

Steps:

• Place carrots and 1 tsp of salt into a pot, cover with water and bring to a boil. Boil for 5-10 mins, or until fork-tender, but not mushy. They should hold their shape.
• Transfer carrots to ice-cold water immediately. This will stop them from continuing to cook. Allow to cool for 2 mins, then gently place onto a wire cooling rack to drip dry.
• Meanwhile, in a container or small bowl, whisk together, hot water, nori, caper brine, rice vinegar, miso paste, soy sauce, lemon juice, garlic powder, and olive oil. Set aside.
• Using a very sharp knife, slice the dry carrots lengthwise, alternating between thin strips and sashimi-style sushi pieces, and place into the marinade.
• Place in the fridge and allow to marinate for a few hours, I find that overnight is best! The longer you marinate, the more the carrots will have the texture and consistency of lox.
• When you're ready to use, remove carrot lox from the fridge and allow to come to room temperature.
• Serve with toasted bagels, smeared with vegan cream cheese and topped with dill, capers and red onion.

AUTHENTIC VEGAN SMOKED SALMON (CARROT LOX) & HORSERADISH DIP

Steps:

• First, steam the carrots with the skin. Use a sharp knife and poke the carrots, if the carrots are soft, they're done. In the meantime, put the remaining ingredients in a container with a lid that is large enough for all carrots and stir vigorously. If the carrots are soft enough, scrape the skin with a knife, it should be easy. Now use a peeler and peel thin carrot strips until the carrots are completely in strips. It doesn't matter whether the pieces are shorter or longer. Now add the carrots to the spice mixture and stir vigorously. That's it. However, I like to let them soak overnight or 2-3 days so that they really absorb the taste. You can sprinkle the carrots with dill before serving. Horseradish Dip Place the soaked cashews, water, maple syrup and mustard in a high speed blender and blend until you have a cream. Put the cream in a bowl and stir in the prepared horseradish. Season the dip with sea salt and pepper.

VEGAN 'SMOKED SALMON' TOASTS

Steps:

• 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.
• 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.
