Sometimes you want a light, fresh, and maximally simple dish to prepare. One such dish for social media users has become tomato carpaccio.
You can prepare a full restaurant dish from 1–2 tomatoes. The recipe was shared by TikTok blogger kulinarnemigawki.pl.
What is Tomato Carpaccio
Classic carpaccio is made from thinly sliced meat or fish. However, vegetable variations are becoming more common, such as those with figs or tomatoes. Olive oil and pesto are added as a dressing to the base, and before serving, it is garnished with flakes of parmesan and fresh herbs.
How to Make Tomato Carpaccio
The main secret of the dish is fresh and ripe tomatoes. One large fruit is enough for a serving. The other ingredients can be chosen to taste; you can take:
- a few rings of red onion;
- olive oil;
- parmesan;
- pesto;
- herbs (basil or parsley).
Slice the tomatoes and onion into thin slices. They should be translucent, so use a convenient and sharp knife right away. Some chefs suggest using a bread knife, as it does not damage the delicate flesh of the vegetable.
The next step is to mix olive oil, salt, pepper, and a little pesto on a plate.
You can start assembling. Place the tomatoes on top, sprinkle with onion, herbs, and parmesan. Drizzle with oil for aroma.
To make the dish heartier, you can add slices of mozzarella, burrata balls, or shrimp. Another idea, more related to an impressive presentation, is to use tomato varieties of different colors.
