Ingredients

2 zucchini (about 1 1/2 pounds total), sliced into paper-thin rounds
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 lemon, juiced
1 young leek, white and light green parts only, sliced paper-thin into rings and thoroughly cleaned
1/4 cup chopped fresh herbs, such as chervil, dill, chives, and chive blossoms
1 cup ricotta cheese
Fresh mint leaves, for garnish, optional

Directions

Shingle the zucchini slices in a single overlapping layer on a platter. Dust with salt and pepper, then drizzle with a 3-count of olive oil and the lemon juice. Put that into the refrigerator for about 10 minutes to give the flavors a chance to get into the zucchini. Now scatter the leeks over. Sprinkle with the herbs. Garnish garnish with the ricotta cheese and mint leaves, if using; serve.

Not so great
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

I was disappointed in this recipe. flavor was bland, too many leeks for the amount of zucchini. I think the concept is great... but the recipe needs some work.Read more

Why do you bang the blade of your knife on the cutting board so much. If you had to pay to have it sharpened, you wouldn;t do... it! It is VERY annoying---SO STOP!Read more

Make it!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

My husband saw the show in the morning and told me about it. I made it that evening. We were both intrigued with the... ingredients and were both surprised with the taste -we loved it. We will definitely make this a regular side dish. I was so impressed I used it on a pizza using a pizza dough recipe from a previous Tylers Ultimate episode http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/tylers-ultimate/pizza-margherita-recipe/index.html. For this sauce I took 1 cup ricotta cheese, 1/2 cup olive oil and 1 clove of garlic in a blender, then followed the carpaccio recipe and topped it off with more ricotta, parmesan, and a bit of asiago cheese ?also turned out good.
