I somehow often end up with leftover carrots in my kitchen so I came up with this dish to prevent them from gradually shriveling in my fridge before facing the inevitable. And it actually turned out to end up as one of those dishes I honestly cannot have too often. It makes up for a lovely tapas dish, goes well with all kinds of different tapas, cheese and cold cuts.
