Materials
- vegetable peeler (or mandoline)
Preparation
Wash the zucchinius and cut them very thinly using a mandolin or a vegetable peeler.
Marinade:
Mix the oil, lemon juice and white wine vinegar in a bowl.
Chop the mint leaves and the garlic with a knife. Then add them to the marinade, season with salt and pepper and mix well.
Take a large dish and pour a little marinade in the bottom. Then place zucchini slices, creating a first layer.
Repeat the operation (zucchini layer + marinade) until there are no more ingredients.
Cover the dish with plastic wrap (you can also use an airtight container directly) and let the zucchini rest in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours.
When they have marinated, place the zucchini in a dish or large plate. Season with salt and pepper (if necessary) and serve the zucchinis, decorating them with pink peppercorns and mint leaves. There you go, your zucchini carpaccio is ready!
