Recipe information

  • Yield

    Serves 2

Ingredients

3/4 pound carrots
1/4 cup water
3 tablespoons tarragon vinegar or white-wine vinegar
3 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
4 large romaine leaves

1/4 teaspoon celery seeds

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    With a sharp knife diagonally cut carrots into scant 1/8-inch-thick slices and cut slices lengthwise into julienne strips. In a bowl stir together water, vinegar, sugar, and salt until sugar is dissolved. Add carrot and marinate 5 minutes.

    Step 2

    Drain carrot in a sieve, discarding marinade. Cut romaine crosswise into 1/4-inch-wide strips and in a bowl toss with carrot, oil, celery seeds, and salt and pepper to taste.

Charred Vegetable Ragù
This sauce is slightly magical. The texture cloaks pasta much like a traditional meat sauce does, and the flavors are deep and rich, but it’s actually vegan!

Salmoriglio is a Mediterranean sauce with herbs, garlic, and olive oil. In this version, kelp is used as the base of the sauce.
Smothered Italian Sausage

Crispy Oyster Mushroom Skewers With Bok Choy Salad
Oyster mushrooms are a strong all-rounder in the kitchen, seeming to straddle both plant and meat worlds in what they look and taste like when cooked. Here they’re coated in a marinade my mother used to use when cooking Chinese food at home—honey, soy, garlic and ginger—and roasted until golden, crisp, and juicy.
