Ingredients

For the carpaccio:

  • 2 medium-sized beetroots
  • salt
  • black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 handful arugula
  • 2 tablespoons pomegranate seeds
  • 1 tablespoon pinenuts
  • 10-12 thin slices of parmesan or other hard cheese (use potato peeler)

For the vinaigrette:

  • 2 tablespoons orange juice
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon mustard seeds
  • 2 teaspoons Balsamic reduction
  • salt
  • black pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 180 ºC or 350 ºF. Take a piece of aluminum foil big enough to wrap 2 beetroots. Put them on the sheet of foil, sprinkle with salt, pepper and 2 tablespoons olive oil and wrap them tightly. Put them in the oven for 40 minutes.
  • Make the vinaigrette: combine orange juice, olive oil, white wine vinegar, mustard, mustard seeds, a pinch of salt and black pepper.
  • When beetroot is ready, let it cool, peel and thinly cut with a sharp knife. Take two plates and assemble the carpaccio. Divide beetroot slices evenly and slightly overlap them on plates. Put arugula in the middle, arrange parmesan slices around it and spoon the vinaigrette over carpaccio. Sprinkle with pomegranate and pine seeds. Pour a bit of Balsamico cream and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

Store in the fridge for up to 3 days separate from the dressing.
