  • 1 small thumb ginger, grated (approx. 1 tbsp)
  • 2 oranges, zest finely grated, juiced
  • 4 tbsp raisins (50g), or use chopped apricots, figs or dried cherries

  2. Step 2

    Spoon the mixture into a large jar and drizzle over the syrup, if using. Store in the fridge for up to 5 days, allowing the flavours to develop.

  3. Step 3

    To serve, spoon cottage cheese into a bowl and top with some of the carrot mixture. Finish with the walnuts, and an extra dusting of spice, if you like.
