Instructions
- Peel the carrots and roughly chop them. Bring a medium saucepan of water over medium-high heat to the boil. Steam the carrots for 5'-10' or until tender. Remove the carrots from the saucepan with either a slotted spoon or drain them into a colander. Set aside to cool.
- Peel and grate the other two carrots at an angle on the large side of a cheese grater.
- Place the boiled carrots in a food processor or blender and process for 1'-2' just until puréed.
- In a medium bowl pour the olive oil and wine.
- In a large bowl stir the flour, baking powder, salt and cumin together.
- Then start folding and mixing the solids into the liquids using a rubber spatula, until the flour has disappeared.
- Add the carrots, the shredded and the puréed. Gently knead the ingredients together by hand until the dough is uniform and can be rolled into a ball.
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (356°F).
- Line a large baking tray with parchment paper. Pull off pieces of dough the size of a walnut and roll into lengths around 1 cm thick. Place them on the baking tray.
- If you want to coat some or all the grissini with sesame seeds follow this technique in order for the seeds to stick: Put the sesame seeds in a bowl and fill it with cold water. Drain them. Put the seeds on a paper towel. Roll each one back and forth in the seeds.
- Bake the grissini for 15'-20' until golden.
- Turn off the oven and leave them to dry for 15'.
Recipe Notes
Useful Information
- You can shred all 4 carrots, though the carrot purée adds a splash of orange colour to the grissini.
- Fresh orange juice (2 oranges) can be used as a substitute for the wine.
- Leave to cool; store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
- You can use black sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, poppy seeds or your favourite mixture.
