Beet Carpaccio with Goat Cheese and Rocket

This vibrant beetroot carpaccio is a sophisticated vegetarian starter that celebrates simple, high-quality ingredients. By slicing the earthy beetroot paper-thin and marinating it in a sharp red wine vinegar, the vegetable takes on a delicate texture that perfectly complements the creamy, tangy rounds of goat's cheese. The addition of sliced Belgian endive provides a crisp, slightly bitter contrast to the peppery rocket, creating a well-balanced plate of food that looks as beautiful as it tastes.

Ideal for a light summer lunch or an elegant opening course for a dinner party, this dish is naturally gluten-free and packed with nutrients. The combination of vibrant colours and fresh flavours makes it a reliable favourite for entertaining. For the best results, use a mandoline to achieve consistent, translucent slices, and serve immediately with a final flourish of extra-virgin olive oil.
