On the eve of King’s day, my contribution to the orange-coloured frenzy comes in the form of this little orange-scented, orange-flavoured appetiser. The combination of orange juice, finely grated carrot and subtly scented orange blossom water makes for a refreshing start to your evening meal, but would also make a great post-party breakfast shot. Depending on the mood, serve in shot glasses, cocktail glasses, little Moroccan tea glasses or tea cups, and eat with a little spoon.
Ingredients (for 4 small shot glasses or 2 slightly bigger glasses)
1 medium carrot, very finely grated
juice of 1/2 to 1 orange
a few drops of orange blossom water
- Grate the carrot very finely and divide into glasses or put it in a sealable container if you want to make it ahead of time.
- Press the orange juice and pour it onto the grated carrot until just submerged
- Add a few drops of orange blossom water to taste and eat with a little spoon.

Refreshing was the word I thought of when I read it too. And, of course, healthy. Nice one Eli.

It is super refreshing! I think it’s originally a Moroccan appetiser and it’s great in combination with North-African or Middle Eastern food.
