Author Notes
This recipe was inspired by the painting 'Still Life with Pepper and Carrot' by the 18th-century American artist William Merritt Chase and adapted from a recipe by Smitten Kitchen.
Adding a small orange chili adds a bit of spice and heat. Delicious when paired with a cold beer and served as a light appetizer. This recipe intends the carrots to be stored in the refrigerator and to be consumed within 8 to 10 days. - feastingonart —feastingonart
