  • 1 Tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 2 tsp Grainy Dijon
  • 3 tsp Horseradish, freshly grated
  • 2 tsp Capers
  • 2 Tbsp Lemon Juice
  • 3-4 Tbsp Water (enough to make it blend smoothly but less is better)
Instructions
For the sauce:
  1. Blend in a blender until smooth.
  2. Adjust seasoning with sea(weed) salt
For the Carpaccio:
  1. Preheat the oven to 350*F
