Tomato carpaccio with ginger-citrus dressing

Carpaccio can be made from any vegetable, and many of them are great with ginger-citrus dressing. Try it with cucumbers, kohlrabi, daikon, baked beets, or root celery. The main condition is that the vegetables should be cut into extremely thin circles, 1–2 mm.

Tomato carpaccio with ginger-citrus dressing
Ingredients
  • 1 large, very ripe bovine heart tomato
  • 2 black kumato tomatoes
  • 2 yellow tomatoes (or 8-10 yellow cherry tomatoes)
  • 12-14 stalks of cilantro
  • coarse sea salt
  • freshly ground black pepper
  • 50 ml peanut or light sesame oil
  • 4 cm fresh ginger root
  • juice and zest of a quarter of lemon
  • juice and zest of 1 lime

STEP-BY-STEP COOKING RECIPE

Step 1
Prepare the dressing at least 2 hours before serving. Peel the ginger, finely grate and squeeze out - you only need ginger juice.
Step 2
Mix this juice with lemon and lime, add oil and both zest. Whisk with a fork, cover with plastic wrap and let it brew at room temperature.
Step 3
Cut the cilantro stems into very thin rings. Using a very sharp sawing knife, cut all the tomatoes into thinner circles and artistically arrange them on large flat white plates.
Step 4
Pour the present dressing over the tomatoes, sprinkle with cilantro stalks, salt and pepper. Serve immediately.
