Equipment

  • Cutting Board
  • Chef'S Knife
  • Grill
  • Pot
  • Frying Pan

Ingredients

  • 10 pcs. Carrots
  • 27 gram Olive Oil
  • 12 gram Miso
  • 20 gram Sake
  • 6 gram Soya
  • 60 gram Skinless almonds
  • 40 gram Whiskey
  • Edible flowers

Instructions

  • 1. Wash the carrots and remove most of the tops if they have them. Rub them with olive oil
  • 2. The carrots should now be grilled over indirect heat, or very low heat, for 30-40 minutes (depending on the thickness of the carrots). Turn them along the way so they get heat on all sides
  • Tip: they are done when you can stick a meat needle through them without resistance
  • 3. Put miso, sake, and soy in a small pot, and simmer over low heat until it has thickened slightly, but is still liquid. Remove from heat and set aside for later
  • 4. Toast the almonds in a pan until they take color. Coarsely chop them
  • 5. Heat a pan thoroughly, either on the grill or on the stove. REMEMBER: if you do it on the grill, the handle will get very hot
  • 6. Time to flambé!
  • Remove the pan from the grill, place the carrots on it, pour whiskey over them and ignite the carrots. Shake the pan a little while the flames are burning and wait until the fire is extinguished 
  • 7. Plating!
  • Place the carrots on a nice platter and brush them with the miso glaze. Sprinkle the chopped almonds on top and garnish with flowers
