Carrot Dawg




















4 med size organic carrots
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1/2 cup spring water
2 1/2 tsp liquid aminos
6 drops liquid smoke (Colgin is vegan)
1 medium glove garlic, crushed
1 tsp miso
1/4 tsp celery seeds
2 tsp rice vinegar
1 tsp peanut butter
I used my homemade hotdawg buns

Peel, rinse, cut off ends of carrots. Place the carrots in a deep pot of water. Boil them for 6 minutes, just enough to pierce a knife through them. (aldente) not well done because they will get a little softer when you fry them. Drain the water and place the carrots in a shallow square glass dish. Add the wine vinegar, water, liquid aminos, garlic, miso, celery seeds, and peanut butter to another bowl. Mix well and pour mixture over the carrots to marinate overnight. Drain the liquid and add a tbsp of earth balance to a frying pan. Brown on both sides. I used my cast iron grill

Enjoy!
