Ingredients
| Title | amount |
| Red beets of medium size | 2 pcs. |
| Garlic | 2-3 teeth |
| Parmesan Cheese | 20 g |
| Lemon juice | 1 tsp |
| Dried basil greens | 1 pinch |
| Olive oil | 40 ml |
| Drinking water | 2-3 l |
Step cooking
- In a pan with 2-3 liters of cold water, put 2 washed medium beet roots of red beets. Bring water to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium, cook beets for 40-45 minutes under the lid. Drain boiling water, add cold water to vegetables. Let the beets reach readiness (20-25 minutes). When boiling, boiling water should cover vegetables 5 cm higher. The exact boiling time depends on the beet variety. Cool the cooked beets.
- Peel the finished vegetables. Cut the beets into very thin (transparent) slices using a slicer or a very sharp knife. A prerequisite for the recipe is a very thin cutting of vegetables.
- Lay the slices nicely on a serving platter. You can roll thin circles of beets into tubes or petals, making them a beautiful composition.
- In a deep container, combine 40 ml of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of lemon juice and 1 pinch of dry basil greens. Stir the dressing well. Grind 2-3 cloves of garlic using a garlic press or a fine grater. Add the garlic mass to the dressing, mix well. Instead of basil, you can take any other spicy herb you love.
- Thoroughly pour the beetroot slices spread on a serving dish with a fragrant dressing.
- Grate 20 grams of Parmesan cheese on a fine grater. Sprinkle carpaccio. You can decorate the dish not with grated cheese, but with its thin slices sliced on a slicer or a cheese knife. Instead of Parmesan cheese, you can take chevre cheese, burrata, which also harmonize well with the taste of beets.
When serving carpaccio, the dish is often decorated with a slide of iceberg lettuce, arugula, watercress, chicory leaves, and other varieties of salad. The classic carpaccio in his homeland (in Spain) is cooked with mascarpone cheese, goat cheese, balsamic vinegar, spicy herbs and spices. Cedar and walnuts, citrus fruits, avocados, fresh vegetables: cucumbers, tomatoes, bell peppers, and other products can be added to the composition of the snack.
