Carrot-Ginger-Miso Sauce

I’ve made this sauce many times… and every time it’s a success. It’s so good and goes well in so many meals, that I recommend you to give it a shoot to impress your next guests!

The carrot gives the body to the sauce, but the magical components are the ones that create the perfect balance among the 4 basic flavours that you need to nail a sauce: the saltiness of the miso, the sweetness of the maple syrup, the sourness of the lemon, and the pungent kick of the ginger.

Ingredients

• 4 medium carrots
• 3 tablespoons of white miso
• 2 tablespoons of lemon
• 3 cm of ginger
• 2 tablespoons of maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons of olive oil
• 1 tsp of toasted sesame oil (optional)
• 1/2 cup of water

Instructions

Steam the carrots until they are very tender.

Grate ginger if your food processor or blender is not very powerful.

Blend all the ingredients in a blender or food processor until very smooth.

Check the consistency and add water if you want it more runny.

Optional

Try it with the veggie wrap of my next post

Serve it with salmon and streamed or roasted vegetables
