Instructions: Drain currants and reserve vinegar for dressing.

Cook carrots and zucchini in salted boiling water for 2 minutes or until just tender.

Drain and place in a large bowl with currants.

In a medium bowl mix reserved vinegar with oils oregano and thyme.

Pour over still warm carrots and zucchini and toss well.

Let cool and add salt and pepper. Garnish with chives and serve.

Macerated in raspberry vinegar the currants give each forkful a burst of fruity flavour. (Resist the temptation to substitute raisins its worth a trip to the store really.) Zucchinis soakablity is put to use here as a splash of walnut oil intensifies its natural mild nuttiness.
