Carpaccio is an Italian appetizer made of thinly sliced raw meat (typically beef) or fish. This recipe is a vegetarian version, with zucchini as the main ingredient. Just like the classic meat version, the sliced zucchini are flavored with lemon juice, olive oil, and shaved hard cheese.
2 medium zucchini, approximately 6 inches long and 2 inches in diameter
¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons fresh-squeezed, strained lemon juice, or more, to taste
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 teaspoon fresh oregano leaves, finely chopped
4 ounces Cretan Gaviera or Parmigiano-Reggiano, whole
Toasted sesame seeds and a drizzle of honey
