Healthy Vegan - Roasted Balsamic Beetroot Carpaccio with Capers and Rocket
This is a vegan take on 'Beef' Carpaccio. The beef is replaced with floppy slithers of roasted balsamic beetroot.
I know this plate looks sparse, but this is a starter - a light teaser before you are served your main meal.
As well as the sharp tangy velvet slices of beetroot, on the plate you will also find fronds of green pickings from the greenhouse. Gosh, I do wonder why I don't make more of an effort to grow salad greens, they are just so much more tastier and punchier than those you pick up from the supermarket. And capers, roughly chopped for piquancy. Enjoy.
