Analyzing cooking steps...
Using a mandoline is crucial for achieving thin, even slices which is key for both the cooking and the final presentation.
The parchment paper placed directly on the vegetables (a technique called a 'cartouche') helps to steam them gently, keeping them moist and tender.
The quality of the dish relies on fresh, ripe vegetables, so choose the best you can find.
