Tomato Carpaccio
Description
A tasty appetizer for any gathering. If you recall the traditional recipe for carpaccio, it is traditionally made from raw meat with a sauce, but as often happens, over time this dish and its ingredients have changed quite a lot. Nowadays this Italian appetizer is prepared not only from meat (raw, dried, or cured), but also from fish, mushrooms, vegetables, and fruit. And today I want to share one such recipe with you and tell you about it. The appetizer is ready. Serve right away.
