Yield Makes 4 first-course servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 small zucchini (1 lb total)
1/3 cup loosely packed fresh mint leaves
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/4 cup pine nuts (1 oz) 1 (6-oz) piece Grana Padano or Parmigiano-Reggiano
Garnish: thinly sliced tips of 2 zucchini blossoms*; 4 fresh mint sprigs
Special Equipment
a Japanese Benriner** or other adjustable-blade slicer

Steps:

  • Cut zucchini diagonally into paper-thin slices with slicer. Arrange slices, overlapping slightly, in 1 layer on 4 plates.
  • Make stacks of mint leaves and cut crosswise into very thin slivers, then sprinkle over zucchini.
  • Whisk together oil and lemon juice in a small bowl, then drizzle over zucchini. Sprinkle with sea salt, pepper to taste, and pine nuts. Let stand 10 minutes to soften zucchini and allow flavors to develop.
  • Just before serving, use a vegetable peeler to shave cheese to taste over zucchini, then sprinkle with zucchini blossoms and mint.
  • *Available at specialty produce markets and some supermarkets. **Available at Asian markets, some cookware shops, and Uwajimaya (800-899-1928).

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover zucchini. I had a few zucchinis that were about to go bad, and this recipe was the perfect way to use them up.

The zucchini carpaccio turned out great! I used a mandoline to slice the zucchini, which made it really thin and delicate.
