Making heart shaped carrots

wortel-hartjes

Because Valentine’s day is almost upon us, I thought I’d share you some ideas to make the evening meal extra special.

It doesn’t require a huge effort, but the impact  is guaranteed….

Of course you can use these also on mother’s day or father’s day an engagement, or wedding etc.

 

You’ll need:

A large carrot  (winter type)

A peeler

Knifes

And a cuttingboard.

 

 

Method:

Cut top and bottom of the carrot and peel the carrot.

Cut the carrot in lenghts of 4-5cm so it’s easier to handle.

Stend the carrot up and cut a V into it.

That’s the dip in the heart.

Keep the V at the top and cut  the sides opposite (also a V).

This will give you a heart shape of some sort.

Doesn’t have to be perfect!

Cut the hearts into slices .

 

If you make little v cuts all around the carrot you’ll make a flower, also cute.
