Carrot – Peel the carrot and cut into thin slices. Mix with Extra virgin olive oil and a pinch of salt. Place flat and space out in a baking dish and cook at 180 °C/350°F for about 20/30 minutes (until crispy).

Hop Sprouts – Wash them well and put them in the pan with a little olive oil, Pimento and blend with a drop of Umeboshi Vinegar until they are tender.

Mixed salad – Wash the leaves.

 

Cashew and Saffron Cream Preparation:

Soak the cashews for at least 12 hours.

After that time, blend them with WATER, SAFFRON,  PEPPER, PAPRIKA and OIL to obtain a smooth sauce. If necessary, adjust seasoning to taste.
