Carpaccio

Carpaccio (pronunciation: /kɑːrˈpɑːtʃioʊ/) is a dish of raw meat or fish, thinly sliced or pounded thin, and served mainly as an appetizer.

Etymology

The term comes from the name of the Venetian painter Vittore Carpaccio, who was known for the characteristic red and white tones of his work, similar to the colors of the dish.

Preparation

Carpaccio is typically made from lean meat like beef, venison, or veal, or from seafood like salmon or tuna. The meat or fish is frozen slightly, then thinly sliced or pounded thin. It is then typically drizzled with olive oil and lemon juice, and seasoned with salt and pepper. Some variations may include capers, onions, or Parmesan cheese.
