Vegetarian Carpaccio

 

Delicious thinly sliced vegetables. You'll only need a mandolin or sharp knife. 

Ingredients:

  • 1 golden beet, peeled and sliced very thin

  • 1 ripe tomato, sliced very thin

  • 1 bulb of fennel, sliced very thin

  • 1 broccoli floret, sliced very thin

  • 1 cup frisee or lettuce

  • 1 tablespoon fresh basil or parsley

  • 1 lemon

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • Black pepper to taste

  • 1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese, grated

Directions:

  1. Slice the vegetables very thin. It helps to trim a little off the bottom of the beet so it remains stable on the cutting board.

  2. Arrange the vegetables on a platter in the manner shown in the photo. It is important to keep your pattern neat and symmetrical. Using a large platter is ideal.

  3. Sprinkle the platter with the lemon juice and olive oil followed by the basil, pepper, and Parmesan cheese.

  4. Serve immediately.

 

CHEF'S TIP:

If you want to prepare this in advance, add the oil and vinegar last.You could use vegan cheese to make it into a vegan version.Don't be afraid to use other vegetables as you see fit.
