Beet Carpaccio

The perfect fancy starter for those of us who prefer vegetables over meat. The beats remain fleshy even when they're sliced thin, which makes them the perfect candidate for a meat substitute. Serve with or without the cheese for vegetarian or vegan options.

Beet Carpaccio

 
Ingredients for carpaccio: 
 
Beets - 2 
 
Salt and Pepper - as needed 
 
Olive oil - 4 tbsp. 
 
Crème fraiche - 1/4 cup (optional)  sour cream is closest to Creme fraiche
 
Mustard - 1 tsp. 
 
Mustard seeds - 1/2 tsp. 
 
White wine vinegar - 1 tbsp. 
 
Arugula leaves - a handful 
 
Pine nuts - 1 tbsp. 
 
 
Method of preparing the carpaccio: 
 
Preheat oven to 350° F (180°C), and place the beets on pieces of aluminum foil large enough to wrap with. Sprinkle salt, pepper and 2 tbsp oil. 
 
Wrap each beet separately and tightly and heat in the oven for 40 minutes. 
 
Combine crème fraiche, mustard, vinegar, olive oil and mustard seeds. 
 
Let the beets cool down, peel and slice using a sharp knife or mandoline. 
 
Arrange the slices on a plate, spread the arugula and pine nuts over and top with mustard sauce.
