Serve this Italian-style beef tartare with or atop crostini (grilled bread).William MeppemeasyTime:<30 minsServes:4
Carne cruda is the Italian answer to a classic French beef tartare and,in true Italian fashion,the result of the dish is entirely dependent on the quality of the few ingredients used. Make this in winter using the best beef you can find,freshly pressed olive oil,known as “olio nuovo”,lemons and fennel. If you’re lucky,a little fresh black truffle grated over the beef makes an excellent addition. Serve as a party appetiser or as a slow weekend lunch.
