Saw these purple carrots in Sainsbury's and just had to try them out.
My mission is to seek out strange new foods and try them, after all. At least once a month, I have to try something I have never had - it gets harder, let me tell you.
Anyway, these lovely blighters come from Norfolk. They are VERY sweet and have a sort of nutty taste - yummy.
So, today's lunch comprised:
Cucumbers in Yoghurt & Dill
1/2 cucumber (about 225g)
1 pot 0% fat Greek yoghurt (150g)
large handful dill (about 12g)
salt
Wash cucumber and slice very thinly crosswise. Layer slices into a colander and sprinkle each layer with a little salt. Then add the next layer, salt etc until all slices are used up. Allow to stand for about 2 hours until cucumbers are wilted.
Mix together washed and chopped fresh dill with the yoghurt.
Gently wring out the cucumber slices with your hands and add to the yoghurt mixture. Stir well and serve.

I had this with some prawns which were just quickly fried with some seasoning and a bit a flat leaf parsley and, of course, the purple carrots.
