For carrots with raisins, served in this way, I would like to thank ... Siberia Airlines. The salad was on the Munich S7 flight on the menu in December and January 2015-2016. (I mean, I don't know if it's always and on all their flights, so I don't want to disappoint anyone;)).

Listen, someone thought to add one single non-standard ingredient to the recipe, and I literally rediscovered carrots with raisins as such! The boring stuff of my entire childhood suddenly turned into an unknown, almost gourmet dish! So what is this miracle ingredient?

PINK PEPPER!!!

Pink pepper is not even a relative of paprika and all sorts of cayenne and allspice. It belongs to the sumac family, its "peas" do not grow inside juicy pods, but in clusters of independent small berries. Pink pepper is made from two plants similar to each other - Peruvian and Brazilian peppers - these same ones, not with pods, but with berries. The spice was known even to the pre-Columbian Indians, but they made from it mainly liquid seasonings or flavored drinks. In modern cooking, pink pepper is more used in dry form. It is fragrant, like normal capsicums, but not as hot. Well, beautiful, of course.

I can't guarantee that S7's ready-made menu supplier made his salad according to this recipe. These are just my guesses on how to achieve all the things I liked about their carrots and raisins.

So, for one HOME portion (on the plane, of course, this is much less) it makes sense to take 150 gr. carrots, 15 gr. raisins, lemon or orange, 5 pink peppercorns and a little vegetable oil (simply because carrots without oil - beta-carotene in the wind)! Maybe someone will want to sweeten it more, but I had enough sweetness from raisins. In general, it turns out a kind of glorious carrot diet salad, for the post is also suitable. Vitamins in carrots and trace elements in raisins ... Just solid advantages!

I wonder how I could like it so much healthy dish- usually I somehow prefer everything fatty-smoked-sweet. In general, I think that the whole thing was really in this very pink pepper.

Squeeze juice from half a lemon.

Soak raisins in citrus juice for 1 hour (sourness in raisins should be clearly felt).

Carrots in three thin strips (naturally, those who don’t have a vegetable cutter can use a coarse grater, but I have a Burner for Korean carrots, in my opinion, it’s just perfect for industrial cutting, isn’t it?)

We crush pink pepper with a pestle.

We mix carrots with crushed peppers and vegetable oil, pickle them until the raisins are saturated with lemon juice.

Well, and then we catch the raisins from the juice, mix it with the carrots and let everything stand together for another hour (it can be more, under the film - you yourself understand that airlines do not serve food an hour after cooking).

Here we have got such a carrot with raisins, bright both in appearance and in taste.
