The vegetable carpaccio with cashew cream from Spoonsparrow is a healthy alternative to the classic meat version.

Ingredients

  • 100 g cashews
  • 650 g beetroot (5)
  • 650 g striped beetroot (e.g., Tonda di Chioggia)
  • 200 g radish (1 piece)
  • 50 g lamb's lettuce
  • 80 g arugula (1 bundle)
  • 40 g yogurt (1.5% fat) (2 tbsp)
  • 0.5 lemon (juice)
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • 150 g Strawberries
  • 2 tbsp Rapeseed oil
  • 2 tbsp Apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tbsp pink peppercorns
  • 1 tbsp pumpkin seed oil

Instructions

  1. 1.

    Cover cashews in a bowl with water and soak for at least 30 minutes. Meanwhile, wash beetroot thoroughly and slice into very thin rounds using a vegetable peeler, separating by color. Peel radish and slice into very fine ribbons. Wash lamb's lettuce and arugula and pat dry.

  2. 2.

    Blend soaked cashews with half of the soaking water, yogurt, and lemon juice until creamy; season with salt and pepper.

  3. 3.

    For the dressing, peel, wash, and roughly chop strawberries. Blend strawberries in a blender with 1–2 tbsp cold water, rapeseed oil, and vinegar. Lightly crush pink peppercorns in a mortar, stir into the dressing, and season with salt.

  4. 4.

    Arrange beetroot and radish on four plates. Place cashew cream in the center and garnish with salad leaves. Drizzle carpaccio with strawberry dressing and a touch of pumpkin seed oil.
