Carpaccio Wrap


For bloggers/foodies that are spending too much in front the pc.

Easy, fancy and delicious

If don't leave home for buying groceries, order via internet :

Carpaccio, frozen, sliced, ready to go.

Pizza dough for skillets/saute pan cooking.

Lettuce.

Dijon Mustard, olive oil , parmeggiano cheese.
( Or anything you want, only top two are required.)

Of course, ready to go carpaccio is more expensive than your do it
yourself. But we are going for simplicity.

The dough can replaced by tortilla, pita bread, nori algae ou lettuce leave.
I use this pizza dough that are easy to find here in brazil and I use to do
besides pizza, wraps and quesadillas.

How it is made :

Take a serving of carpaccio from the freezer and let it rise to room temperature.

Take a slice of dough, get rid of the plastic wraps.

Put some clean lettuce leaves in water.

Get back to the p.c., t.v. or to your book reading.
Book, you know. That paper thing...

Twenty minutes later or the time for the carpaccio set.

Take the lettuce from water and put in iced water

Heat the dough in both side in the skillet.

Take the lettuce from water and dry very well.

Smear mustard in the bread.(Now it is a bread)

Assembly the sandwich: lettuce, carpaccio e grated cheese.

It might be those already grated cheeses because simplicity has
priority. But good parmeggiano, hard pecorino or grana padano freshly
grated can make the all difference in the world.

Wrap it!
And you can eat it in front of the computer drinking a cold beer !
Just watch to not spill in the keyboard!
