CARPACCIO, A MODERN & POPULAR DISH |
| Carpaccio is the most popular dish served at Harry's Bar in Venice . It is named for Vittore Carpaccio, the Venetian Renaissance painter known for his use of brilliant reds and whites. |
| Carpaccio, which has been copied by any number of good restaurants all over the world, is made by covering a plate with the thinnest possible slices of raw beef and garnishing it with shaved cheese, prepared mayonnaise or an olive oil dressing. It is considered typical of modern Italian cuisine. Since then, many variations have appeared as fish, octopus or vegetable carpaccios. |
| If possible, to make things easier, ask your butcher to slice the freezed beef for you in paper thin slices. This dish is wonderful as a light lunch or as an appetizer for dinner. |
