Kohlrabi Carpaccio

A classic, authentic carpaccio of raw kohlrabi, thinly sliced, dressed with olive oil and lemon, and enhanced with Parmesan shavings and arugula. A simple, refreshing Italian antipasto.

Ingredients

  • 1 piece kohlrabi
  • 1 piece lemon
  • 30 ml extra-virgin olive oil
  • 30 g Parmesan (in a block)
  • 50 g arugula
  • to taste fleur de sel
  • to taste freshly ground black pepper

Method

  1. Wash and peel the kohlrabi. Using a mandoline or a very sharp knife, slice it into very thin rounds (about 1 to 2 mm thick).
  2. Arrange the rounds in a rosette on two flat plates, overlapping them slightly to cover the entire surface.
  3. Squeeze the lemon and drizzle it evenly over the kohlrabi. Drizzle the olive oil over each plate.
  4. Season with a pinch of fleur de sel and black pepper.
  5. Use a vegetable peeler to shave the Parmesan and distribute the shavings over the carpaccio.
  6. Place the washed and dried arugula in the center of or around the carpaccio.
  7. Serve immediately, or let it marinate for 5 minutes at room temperature so the flavors can mingle.
