Hi,
I'm translating the menu that Joan Roca prepared for the COP25 in Madrid. One of the dishes, "Minimizar la proteína animal" is "un asado de remolachas maduradas en cámaras de refrigeración de carne, una sandía a la parrilla, y unos tomates , cebollas moradas, pimientos confitados y botarga de zanahoria morada madurada."
I'm having trouble with this last part, "botarga de zanahoria morada madurada."
Thanks in advance!

purple carrot caviar
I don't think this can refer to the real bottarga which is cured fish roe, but wonder if might refer to a bottarga-like substance made of mature, purple carrots.
You can find several examples of chefs doing similar things with caviar so you can find fruit caviar, carrot caviar etc. I have chosen caviar rather than bottarga as people tend to know what it is and both are made of fish roe and both are expensive and regarded as a delicacy.

I have only put a low confidence level as this is just a hunch. You would obviously need to check this with your client (or chef)
I would not translate mature as it doesn't make it sound very appealing, as mature carrots tend to be woody (I am a gardener)
