Carrot Greens with Sesame Dressing

★★

Salad

Ingredients

1 bunch carrot greens washed and stemmed

3 tablespoons toasted and ground white sesame seeds

1 1/2 teaspoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon sake, mirin or rice vinegar

1/8 teaspoon sugar

Description

Really nice but doesn’t make much.

Need to eat immediately (ie do not keep well). A lot of work and not really worth it.

Directions

In a large pot of lightly salted boiling water, parboil carrot greens for 2 minutes.

Shock in ice water drain and squeeze dry.

Place in a new bowl of cold water and refrigerate overnight, changing water 2–3 times to eliminate bitter flavor.

Drain and squeeze again, then cut into 1/2 inch lengths.

In a medium bowl, dress carrot greens with sesame seeds, soy sauce, sake (mirin or rice vinegar), and sugar.

Allow greens to sit and marinate at least 1 hour before serving.
