Ingredients

For the Kohlrabi Carpaccio

  • 3 young kohlrabi (approx. 450 g)
  • 1 lemon
  • 4 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 bunch of chives
  • Salt
  • Pepper from the grinder
  • 40 g provolone (Italian hard cheese, 50% fat) or parmesan in one piece
  • 4 slices of Parma ham (60 g)

Instructions

Looking for a light, elegant starter that’s perfect for spring or summer entertaining? This kohlrabi carpaccio is a fresh twist on the classic Italian antipasto, combining crisp, wafer-thin kohlrabi with salty Parma ham, shaved Parmesan, and a simple lemon dressing.

It’s quick to prepare, beautifully presented, and packed with fresh flavor, making it an ideal appetizer for lunch, dinner parties, or special occasions.

What Is Carpaccio?

Carpaccio is a traditional Italian dish that originated in Venice in the 1950s. The original version featured paper-thin slices of raw beef served with a creamy sauce.

Today, the term carpaccio refers to almost any dish made with thinly sliced vegetables, fruit, fish, or meat, dressed simply to let the main ingredient shine.

In this version, crisp kohlrabi replaces the traditional beef for a lighter, vegetable-forward dish that’s both refreshing and satisfying.

Step 1

Peel the kohlrabi and slice it as thinly as possible using a sharp knife or mandoline.

Arrange the slices in an overlapping fan shape on serving plates.

Step 2

Drizzle the kohlrabi with fresh lemon juice and a little extra virgin olive oil.

Scatter over the finely sliced leek, then season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Using a vegetable peeler, shave thin slices of Parmesan over the top before arranging the Parma ham alongside the kohlrabi.

Serve immediately.

Serving Suggestions

This kohlrabi carpaccio pairs beautifully with:

  • Grilled fish or chicken as part of a larger meal
  • Toasted ciabatta
  • Seeded crispbread for a gluten-free option
  • A fresh green salad

The colonic was one of the best experience I’ve ever had. Ela was absolutely fantastic. She is very gentle and really professional. I was feeling at ease knowing I was in perfect hands at that time. Later on I was given some good advice about a liver cleanse.
