It all began with an intriguing recipe which promised the taste and the feeling of gravad lax by letting soak the carrots in a sophisticated marinade.

In my perception the carrot strips developed a multi-aromatic taste with no ingredient overpowering the others. Not even the algae as expected. I should say that this recipe will not replicate the flavour of gravad lax. Rather the carrots no longer taste like carrots and gain a rich aroma which makes them a worthy replacement for salmon.
