This recipe is by Gabriela Duhart who is a consultant with Humane Society International. I came across this recipe and thought wow it would be pretty cool to make carrot lox. I thought I’d give this recipe a try on my home made mini bagels (mini bagel recipe not published as of yet)

Ingredients for around 4 servings

4 carrots – boiled for 8 minutes and cooled

2 Tablespoons caper brine (liquid from a jar of capers)

2 Tablespoons soy sauce

1 Tablespoon miso paste

1 Tablespoon olive oil

2 teaspoons lemon juice

1 teaspoon finely chopped dill

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

2/3 cup warm water

Directions

Slice the carrots into thin strips or sheets using a fine knife or vegetable peeler.

in a bowl (or a ziplock bag) combine the remaining ingredients and the carrots.

Marinate the carrots in the refrigerator. One hour will add little flavor. I tried them after letting them sit overnight and I thought the dominate flavor was soy sauce. Then I let them go longer. I thought I got the most and best flavors around 5 days latter.

Remove carrots from marinade and serve.

I think that if you are vegan that this is a good recipe………..but……. It doesn’t actually taste like real lox plain. But it almost taste like lox in the home made mini bagel all dressed up. Those were my FORKING Thoughts on The Humane Society Vegan Lox Recipe.
