Ingredients:
2 pounds jícama (1 large or 2 medium), peeled |
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice |
about 45 small fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves |
1/2 cup tapenade or other olive paste (4-ounce jar) |
Directions:
1. Put jícama crosswise into 1-inch-thick slices (make slices thinner if your cookie cutter is shallow). Lay 1 slice flat and cut out as many star-shaped chunks as possible. Cut chunks into 3/4-inch-thick stars using a mandoline or other manual slicer or a sharp thin knife. 2. Sprinkle stars with lemon juice and arrange a parsley leaf on each. Drop 1/4 teaspoon tapenade onto center of each star, partially covering leaf. 3. Cooks' note: ·You can cut jícama stars 1 day ahead and chill, tossed with lemon juice, in a sealable plastic bag. |
