Beet carpaccio

At present, the culinary term "carpaccio" is used to refer to dishes from almost any raw, very thinly sliced ​​foods, including meat, fish, seafood, vegetables, mushrooms, fruits, and more. The main products, cut into thin small plates, are not closely laid out on a serving dish.

Preparation

We use a very sharp knife (or you can use a knife making the surface of the cut slice wavy). It is better to use fresh fish, in any case, before cooking, the piece should be held for a while in the freezer, so that it is more convenient to cut it.

We clear the beet and cut it (you want along, want across) very thin almost transparent small plates. Also, with very thin plates of a similar shape, it is possible to thinly cut the salmon flesh (across the fibers) as much as possible. We rub the cheese on the grater. Plates of beet and salmon alternately not closely laid out on a dish.

Now we prepare the marinade sauce. Thick in a mortar garlic with hot red pepper and juniper berries (they will give carpaccio a special sharp coniferous taste). Add 1 part vinegar and 3 parts oil. All carefully mix and leave for 10 minutes. Strain the sauce through a strainer and use a silicone brush to sauce the surface of each piece of flesh of salmon and beets. We decorate with greens and lightly sprinkled with grated homemade cheese . We will wait another 8-20 minutes, so that carpaccio plates will be well-blown.

Serve this beet carpaccio with any wine, including rice, vodka, gin, whiskey, aquavit or bitter tinctures.
