Ingredients

Description

Instructions

  1. Clean the fillet of any residual fat, and wrap it tightly in foil, forming a cylinder.
  2. Let it rest in the freezer for about 30 minutes to ensure that the meat hardens slightly to make cutting easier.
  3. After this, slice thinly (about 1 mm) and place the slices on a serving platter.
  4. Drizzle with olive oil, salt and pepper.
  5. Clean and wash all the vegetables and cut them into matchsticks. Put them in a bowl with cold water; to make them crispier, leave them like that for about 30 minutes.
  6. After this, drain the vegetables, season with oil, salt and pepper, and place on the platter.
  7. Grate the salted ricotta cheese over the plate with a special grater or by using a vegetable peeler.
  8. As an alternative to the vegetables and ricotta, use parmesan cheese shavings and wild rocket and add lemon juice to the olive oil for the dressing
