ANTIPASTO CUPS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°. Press half of the salami into 12 muffin cups. Loosely crumple aluminum foil to form twelve 2-in. balls; place in cups to keep salami from sliding. Bake until edges begin to brown, 6-8 minutes. Using tongs, remove from pans and invert onto paper towels to drain. Wipe muffin cups clean. Repeat with remaining salami, reusing foil balls., Meanwhile, drain and coarsely chop artichoke hearts, mushrooms and red peppers; transfer to a small bowl. Stir in cheese. In another bowl, whisk oil, vinegar, garlic salt and pepper until blended. Drizzle over vegetable mixture; toss to coat. Using a slotted spoon, fill salami cups with vegetable mixture.

ANTIPASTI PLATTER

• Stir the oil, salt, and pepper in a small bowl to blend. Arrange the vegetables on a platter. Serve the vegetables with the dip.
• Stir the oil, lemon zest, and red pepper flakes in a heavy small skillet over medium heat just until fragrant, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat. Add the olives and toss to coat. Add the basil; toss to coat. Serve.
• Preheat the broiler. Cover a heavy baking sheet with foil. Arrange the bell peppers on the baking sheet. Broil until the skins brown and blister, turning the peppers over occasionally, about 15 minutes. Enclose the peppers in a resealable plastic bag. Set aside until cooled to room temperature, about 20 minutes.
• Peel, seed, and cut the peppers into 1/2-inch thick strips. Toss the pepper strips, olives, oil, capers, basil, garlic, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl to combine. Cover and refrigerate up to 2 days.

ANTIPASTO

Steps:

• Mix first 5 ingredients in large pot. Boil 5 minutes.
• Add next 4 ingredients, boil 10 minutes.
• Add balance of ingredients. Try not to break up shrimp and tuna too much. Bring to just boiling.
• Process in a hot water bath for 15 minutes.
• Note: *Drain everything except olives and pickled onion juice. Biffy and Frank's flub (taste great.) Omit vinegar.
• Optional - small amount of brown sugar, HP sauce, chopped garlic, hot pepper sauce (dried or fresh) WE NEVER USE THESE.
• Something sure has changed with Recipe Zaar! When trying to put the ingredients in it was a big pain in the butt for the sizes. I've converted the grams to ounces but I didn't have everything in my cupboard to actually look at so I guessed. But most cans come pretty standard, and the "Frozen Shrimp" is a large bag -- it wouldn't let me put just "large.".

ANTIPASTO LETTUCE CUPS

Steps:

• Combine the salami, soppressata, mozzarella, provolone, artichokes, tomatoes, olives, peppers, vinegar and 1/4 cup artichoke marinade in a bowl.
• Divide among the lettuce cups. Sprinkle with basil.

ANTIPASTO BOWL

Steps:

• Prepare a bowl of ice water.
• In a covered pan, steam the sliced asparagus for 4 minutes; drain and plunge the asparagus into the ice water, then drain well.
• In a large bowl, combine the asparagus, mushrooms, bell pepper, black olives, mozzarella cubes, artichoke hearts, and pepperoncini.
• In a small bowl combine the vinegars and remaining ingredients and whisk well (or put it in a jar, cover, and shake well).
• Pour the prepared vinaigrette over the vegetable mixture and toss to coat.
• Place in a covered container and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, stirring or shaking occasionally (you can marinate it longer, but no more than 8 hours, because beyond that will effect the texture).
• Serve either chilled or at room temperature.
• Note: also good with cherry tomatoes added.
