Italian Carrot Sauce and a Manzoni

Written by Veronica Lavenia

A source of inspiration for many recipes, both sweet and savory, carrots are one of the most versatile and tasty vegetables. This sauce is a fresh and light idea to use carrots in a different way. Sicilian capers give a truly unique flavor to a very tempting sauce. Great for stuffing toast and classic panini, or over a slice of hot bruschetta, this sauce is a delight to try.

Manzoni Bianco 2019 by Sandre is our suggested pairing: “Sample with a fairly complex olfactory range. Floral notes reminiscent of freshly cut wild flowers and hints of peach blossom”. For the full review click here.

Method:
