1

To make the pickled raisin dressing, put the raisins in a small heatproof bowl. Combine the vinegar, sugar, coriander seeds, 1 tsp of cumin seeds, bay leaf and salt to taste in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over a medium heat. Boil gently for a minute or two, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is completely dissolved. Pour the liquid over the raisins, set aside and allow to cool completely.

2

Peel the carrots and use a vegetable peeler to shave into ribbons.

3

Place the walnuts and cumin in a pan over a medium heat and toast until fragrant. Allow to cool.

4

Toss the carrot ribbons in the olive oil and drizzle over 2-3 tbsp of the raisin dressing. Toss to coat completely.

5

Pile onto a platter and scatter over the walnuts and remaining cumin.
