About

Who would have thought that a carrot salad could be so unusual? Carrot is combined here with cardamom pods, saffron, orange juice and sultanas to give a distinctly Eastern flavour.

Ingredients

60 ml (2 fl oz) peanut oil
8 cardamom pods, crushed

Vegan

Method

Three or four days before serving the salad; place the oil into a small pan with the cardamom pods and heat until just warm. Transfer to a clean preserving or jam jar and leave in the refrigerator for 3–4 days to allow the flavours to develop. If time is short, do this just before preparing the rest of the salad. The flavour will be good, just less developed.
