aargersi's Notes:
Expand1 medium onion Ask a question about this ingredient
7 large carrots (if you can get organic ones it is worth the extra $$ - their flavor is amazing) Ask a question about this ingredient
2 cups chicken broth (low salt) Ask a question about this ingredient
3 hungarian wax peppers Ask a question about this ingredient
1 habanero Ask a question about this ingredient
1 large knob of ginger - about 2 inches Ask a question about this ingredient
1/2 cup white wine vinegar Ask a question about this ingredient
1/4 cup amino acids (these have a nice mild saltiness - if you can't find them use soy sauce but use less and taste for salt level) Ask a question about this ingredient
olive oil for the pan Ask a question about this ingredient
Peel and chop the onion and carrots - don't be fancy you are going to grind them up anyhow
Ask a question about this stepAdd oil to a big skillet and heat to med - high. Saute the onions for a couple minutes until they start to go clear, then add the carrots. Saute a couple more minutes then add the broth. Simmer uncovered until the carrots are tender but not mushy, maybe 20-30 minutes.
Ask a question about this stepWhile those are cooking, peel and chop the ginger, also de-seed and de-vein the peppers, and chop them. I usually throw caution to the wind but with the habanero I do wear gloves.
Ask a question about this stepAdd the ginger and peppers, amino acids and vinegar to the pan and cook just a few more minutes, then turn off the heat and let them cool a bit.
Ask a question about this stepNow take the whole thing and put it in your processor or blender - depending how big it is you may need to do 2 batches. Whiz it all up - not TOO smooth, taste for salt and adjust if needed.
Ask a question about this stepThis is good warm or cold - I am having it warm with a gingered grilled salmon tonight, and Mr L is having it cold on a sausage dog tomorrow.
Ask a question about this stepLove the name. I great recipe without an ounce of pretension!
I only do wimpy work-outs at our rec center, so I could make this already! I love the idea of warm or cool stuff!
Love carrots, love ginger, love your headnote (laughed out loud). Probably won't be eating this before any of my upcoming long pre-marathon races but I am saving and look forward to trying this!
Yeah maybe save it for after race time ... which one are you doing?
It will be my first one so I'm starting with my hometown race...I'm registered for the Honolulu Marathon in December.
Awesome - good luck! I have done several halfs but have never felt that 26.2 mile itch ... You could eat some of this before then :-) Just maybe not the night before.
Thanks!! I did a half last year and decided after doing a 30k that a half might be the perfect distance...
