Mushroom Carpaccio

Yields4 ServingsPrep Time10 mins

Inspired partly by the Spanish bocadillo de jamón con queso – a cured ham and cheese roll – and tapas as well as Italian grazing plates if you use Parmesan and prosciutto, this raw mushroom carpaccio provides a burst of flavour in each bite. Best served with crusty bread, or can be enjoyed on its own.

 5 thin slices prosciutto
 6 small button mushrooms
 3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
 3 tbsp lemon juice
 2 tsp baby capers in brine
 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
 ¼ cup of thinly sliced shaved Manchego or Parmesan cheese
TO SERVE
 freshly ground black pepper
 sliced baguette or crusty rolls
1

Take prosciutto out of the fridge and leave on the benchtop for 5 minutes to warm and soften.

2

Meanwhile, finely slice mushrooms. In a small jar, prepare the dressing by mixing together the olive oil, lemon juice, crushed garlic, capers and chopped parsley.

3

Arrange the meat slices on a serving plate, overlapping them slightly to create a thin layer. Lay sliced mushrooms on top, and scatter around the cheese. Season with pepper.

4

Drizzle with dressing just before serving.

5

Serve with fresh or lightly toasted sliced baguette or crusty rolls.
