Courgette carpaccio topped with pesto, parmesan and herbs – easy, fresh and beautiful on the plate.
The inspiration for this courgette carpaccio came from a trip to Barcelona. We went out to eat at a small, cosy tapas restaurant. It didn’t look like much from the outside – or from the inside, for that matter – and it probably isn’t somewhere we would have visited had it not had such outstanding reviews on Trip Advisor.
But they certainly knew how to make tapas – it was wonderful, and the experience sent me home with plenty of inspiration. Top the carpaccio with a homemade rocket and basil pesto – the two go perfectly together.
