One fat carrot, just the one, shredded. Four unsulphured apricots, snipped into little pieces.
Tossed with mustard seeds, popped in a little oil, some ground coriander, a chilli, seeds 'n all, sugar and tahini.
The very reason I kept the Colin Spencer books by my side.
Almost there. Phew.

Oh, for the simplicity of a carrot salad! I've been eating too much complicated food this week.

Forward Ahead.

You're almost there indeed. Soon, it will be a whole new place to settle and invent.
Beautiful salad.

I think I have a carrot in my fridge who'd like to become this salad.

Only you can turn a carrot into poetry.

Hmmm, beautifully written and the flavours combo amazes me...

I LOVE carrot salad, but I don't thik I've ever had it with apricots. Usually I've seen it with pineapple, but I'm a big apricot fan, so this version looks great! I'm looking up Colin Spencer right now!

What an interesting combination of flavors!

I always can depend on you for the unusual! Very interesting combination! I also like it when you mention the cookbooks or chefs that inspire you:)

And tahini. Thank goodness. I can't imagine how good this must taste- I will have to try it for myself.
Posted by: Aimee | October 10, 2008 at 06:49 AM
I'm going to have that right now. That looks amazing.
