White turnip carpaccio
4 servings
40 minutes
White radish carpaccio is a refined dish inspired by Italian traditions but adapted with a European twist. The lightness of thinly sliced white radish creates a delicate texture that pairs perfectly with refreshing parsley and spicy garlic chives. The mild heat of chili flakes adds character to the dish, while the lemon-olive dressing enhances its natural freshness. Thinly sliced parmesan completes the composition, adding depth and richness to the carpaccio. It is perfect as an exquisite appetizer for a light aperitif or as part of a festive dinner. Serve chilled to allow the flavors to harmoniously unfold and highlight the natural elegance of each ingredient.
