What is carpaccio?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Carpaccio is an Italian appetizer made of raw beef, very thinly sliced (literally shaved), and dressed with a mustard sauce, olive oil, black pepper, and shaved or grated Parmesan cheese. Known as carpaccio di manzo<\/em> is a delicious antipasto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its name is related to the colorful pieces of art by Venetian painter Vittore Carpaccio. The raw red beef combined with the creamy mustard dressing resembles the colors of the artwork of this Renaissance artist, known for his Legend of Saint Ursula<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not quite as popular as beef carpaccio, carpaccio di salmone<\/em> (salmon carpaccio) is another treat I love to start a meal with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This zucchini carpaccio<\/em> is not related to the Italian raw beef one, but because it\u2019s delicious, the zucchini is shaved and served raw and flat in the dish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This recipe came to me over 15 years ago. When my sister Andre\u00edna became a vegetarian, she made it at least twice a week. And her recipe became “my” recipe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I first posted this carpaccio<\/em> in 2010, I wanted to show you the beautiful zucchinis from my prolific Southern California kitchen garden.<\/a> The ones in this updated post are beautifully grown in the sunshine state. As you may know, I have called Florida home since 2102. Here is summertime almost all year round, and these zucchini proudly hold the seal Fresh From Florida<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
