Soak the dried apricots in water for about 2 hours.
Slice, core and chop 1 red chilli pepper. Peel and dice 1 shallot. Peel the carrots and cut into pieces. Sauté shallot and chilli in oil, add 1 liter of vegetable stock. Add the apricots (cut some of them into strips and set aside) with the carrots to the broth. Cook for 20 minutes, then puree.
Season with a pinch of cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, coriander, sea salt and plenty of lemon juice. Decorate with the apricot strips.
