Persimmon Carpaccio with Parmesan and Pomegranate

Persimmon Carpaccio is easy and simple to make, yet it makes a special and beautiful appetizer for any dinner party. I have paired it with juicy, sweet and tangy pomegranate seeds and golden brown earthy pine nuts for the extra aroma and flavour, but feel free to use walnuts or hazelnuts. Parmesan can be substituted with Feta, or Burrata. You can also drizzle some fig-infused balsamic vinegar over for a richer, more complex sweetness. I didn't peel tomato-shaped fuyu persimmons as the skin is edible, but you might want to peel them if using heart-shaped hachiya persimmons.
Persimmons are high in beta carotine and minerals such as sodium, magnesium, calcium and iron, and studies have found that they also contain high amount of vitamin C and dietary fiber, making them a weight-loss friendly food. Besides that, persimmons also contain flavonoid antioxidants which are thought to boost heart health.

  • 1/2 Pomegranate seeds
  • 30 g Pine nuts, toasted
  • 2 Ripe yet firm persimmon (I used fuyu)
  • 1/2 tbsp Lemon juice
  • 1/2 tbsp Freshly squeezed orange juice
  • 30-50 g Parmigiano-Reggiano
  • Fresh lemon-thyme or mint leaves
  • Sea salt
  • Freshly milled black pepper
  1. Cut and deseed a pomegranate. You need about 70 grams of pomegranate seeds. Store the rest in the fridge for other recipes (for example this one, this one or this one). Place the pine nuts in a dry skillet over medium heat. Heat, shaking the pan and stirring often with a wooden spoon, until the pine nuts are fragrant and golden brown, about 3 minutes.
  2. Wash and dry the persimmons. Cut them into even thin slices and arrange them in two plates. Combine lemon and orange juice and drizzle over the persimmons. Sprinkle the pomegranate seeds and toasted pine nuts over. Top with lemon thyme and season with salt and pepper.

That's a beautiful plate of fruit. We don't get reliable persimmons here, so I've never been in the habit of using them, and recently, pine nuts also became a problem because there's one species that's dangerous to eat but sometimes is sold anyway. So I guess that's not a dish for me!

I've never had me a persimmon and I don't think we even have it here, but I did have it mention a number of times in my books.

Nice Halloween colors- although I'm not sure you celebrate that in your part of the world? I use a mandoline slicer to cut my persimmons thinly. I love your quote- that's my kind of diet: pumpkin pie and carrot cake!

I haven’t had persimmons in more than a decade, but I remember enjoying them a good bit. This is quite colorful and delicious looking. I’m going to search them out and give this a try.

This looks and sounds amazing, with those great flavour combinations.

I must admit that I have never come across persimmon in the shops, although apparently they are very popular here in the UK, so I am obviously just completely out of touch!

I understand they are also related to sharon fruit, which I have tried, but I must say they are an acquired taste.

Definitely a recipe to try - thanks for sharing :)

Los productos de otoño son una debilidad para mi, me gustan todos, el caqui por supuesto, es uno de mis preferidos. Lo has presentado maravillosamente en ese carpaccio.

I need to update my list too. You didn't show up on my reading list. Going to go do that after I comment. This looks good. I really need to get a pomegranate. The red seeds add not only taste (I would believe) but add a beautiful pop of color to this dish too.

It looks so fresh and delicious. I haven't used persimmon before in a savoury dish, but I would like to make a (vegan) version of this one because it sounds yum!

That's a lovely one! I could have this one everyday I guess.
