Zucchini Carpaccio

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Zucchini

    Using a vegetable peeler or mandoline, thinly slice the zucchini into rounds. If using a mandoline, set it to about 1/8 inch thickness for best results.

  2. 2

    Toast the Walnuts

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the walnuts on a baking sheet and toast them in the oven for about 8-10 minutes or until golden brown, stirring halfway through. Remove and let cool.

  3. 3

    Slice the Figs

    Wash the figs and slice them into quarters or rounds depending on your preference.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Fennel Pollen Oil

    In a small bowl, mix the fennel pollen with the oil. Allow it to infuse for about 10 minutes before using.

  5. 5

    Shave the Caprino Cheese

    Using a vegetable peeler, shave the caprino cheese into thin slices or shavings.

Assembly

  1. 6

    Arrange the Zucchini

    On a large serving platter, arrange the zucchini slices in an overlapping pattern, covering the entire surface.

  2. 7

    Add the Figs and Nuts

    Scatter the sliced figs and the toasted walnuts evenly over the zucchini.

  3. 8

    Drizzle with Fennel Pollen Oil

    Drizzle the prepared fennel pollen oil generously over the entire dish.

  4. 9

    Finish with Cheese and Seasoning

    Top with shaved caprino cheese, then season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.

  5. 10

    Add Lemon Zest and Juice

    Zest half of the lemon over the dish and then squeeze the juice of the whole lemon over everything for a bright finish.
