Copper Penny Salad Recipe

Copper Penny Salad Recipe

Gansbaai Pharmacy

Old but not yet cold. We gave this traditional favourite a very mild curry twist, and voila! The carrot haters were asking for seconds.

Serves 20

YOU WILL NEED

  • 11⁄2 kg medium carrots, peeled and cut into thin rounds
  • 2 t (10 ml) Ina Paarman’s Vegetable Stock Powder
  • 2 cups (500 ml) water
  • 1 T (15 ml) mustard powder
  • 2 T (30 ml) cold water
  • 1 cup (250 ml) sugar
  • 2 T (30 ml) cornflour
  • 1⁄2 cup (125 ml) cider vinegar
  • 1⁄2 cup (125 ml) canola oil
  • 1 T (15 ml) Worcester Sauce
  • 1⁄4 cup (60 ml) lemon juice
  • 4 T (60 ml) Ina Paarman’s Sun-dried Tomato Pesto
  • 1 T (15 ml) Ina Paarman’s Vegetable Spice
  • 2 onions, cut into half-moon slices
  • 2 red chillies, cut into thin strips
  • 1 x 200 ml Ina Paarman’s Ready to Serve Creamy Curry Sauce

METHOD

  • Cook the carrots in the water together with the Vegetable Stock until just done, but still crisp.
  • Mix the mustard powder with the 2 T (30 ml) of water and leave to stand.
  • Mix the cornflour with the sugar.
  • Add the sugar mixture and rest of the ingredients, as well as the mustard paste, to the carrots in the pot.
  • Stir and bring to the boil and simmer for 3 minutes.
  • Spoon into sterilised glass jars, cover with lids and place overnight in the fridge. It improves with standing at least overnight.

INA'S TIP

  • The Copper Penny Salad must be packed and sealed into sterilised jars while still hot. It will keep for up to 2 months in a cool place.
  • The flavour in the mustard powder develops in the water.
  • Don’t miss this step out.
