    Ingredients

    4 medium carrots
    250ml bottle Cooks' Ingredients Japanese Rice Vinegar
    125g caster sugar
    1 tsp sea salt
    1 tsp fennel seeds
    1 star anise
    1 tsp cumin seeds
    100g Greek yogurt
    1 Romaine lettuce
    30g pumpkin seeds, toasted
    30g sunflower seeds, toasted

    Method

    1. Slice the carrots lengthways very thinly with a mandolin or vegetable peeler and set side.  Heat the rice vinegar in a pan with the caster sugar, sea salt, fennel seeds and star anise.  Bring to a simmer to dissolve the sugar then remove from the heat and add the carrots.  Leave to cool completely.

    2. In a small frying pan, toast the cumin seeds until fragrant.  Cool, then grind to a powder and stir into the yogurt.

    3. Spoon a little cumin yogurt onto 4 plates and top with a couple of lettuce leaves.  Remove the carrots from the pickling liquid and arrange on the lettuce, then scatter with the toasted seeds.  Serve immediately with the rest of the yogurt alongside.
