Two mirrored carpaccio servings, sharply separated, referencing the molecular mirror principle.
Two identical carpaccio servings lie as mirror images on the plate, separated by a thin line of balsamic glaze. The plating refers to the mirrored molecules from the Nobel news: exactly the same, but reversed. Clean, formal, and visually readable as a mirror image.
Ingredients
- 200 g beef tenderloin carpaccio, thinly sliced
- 40 g Parmesan cheese, shaved
- 2 tbsp pine nuts
- 100 g arugula
- 8 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 4 tsp balsamic glaze
- salt and pepper to taste
Method
- Toast the pine nuts golden brown in a dry skillet, let cool.
- On each plate, arrange two rectangular sections of carpaccio side by side, with a 1 cm gap between them.
- Sprinkle both sections identically with arugula, Parmesan, and pine nuts, mirrored in order and amount.
- Draw a thin, straight line of balsamic glaze in the gap between the sections.
- Drizzle olive oil over both sides, season with salt and pepper.
- Check that the plating is truly mirrored, adjust if necessary.
Serving notes
- Serve on white rectangular plates for the sharpest mirror effect.
- Place cutlery symmetrically on either side of the plate.
