Nori bundles with spicy peanut dip

Ingredients

• pinch sea salt
• 1 medium carrot, cut into long strips (6mm thick)
• 8 string beans, cut lengthwise
• 1 sheet nori
• For the dip:
• 2 tbsp peanut butter
• 1/2 garlic clove
• 1 tsp prepared mustard
• 5 tbsp orange juice
• 1 tsp miso
• 3 tbsp finely chopped fresh parsley

Method

1. Bring a small pot of water to the boil, add the pinch of sea salt and boil the carrot sticks for 2-3 minutes.
2. Remove, rinse under cold water and drain.
3. Repeat the process if you’re using string beans, with the same water.
4. Toast the sheet of nori by holding it horizontally 5cm above a gas flame, rotating it for 3-5 seconds, until its colour changes to bright green.
5. Cut the sheet with scissors into four equal width strips.
6. Combine a quarter of each of the vegetable sticks into a bundle (making sure they are well drained and dry), then wrap one nori strip tightly around this bundle.
7. Repeat the process with the rest of the vegetables and nori strips.
8. Arrange the bundles on a serving dish.
9. Prepare the dip by blending all the ingredients together to give a thick consistency.
10. Don’t forget the canape sticks
