Categories     appetizer

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 32

1 1/2 pounds assorted sliced meats, such as mortadella, Spanish chorizo, salami
8 ounces of each assorted cheese, such as Manchego, blue cheese, aged gouda, fresh mozzarella, or Taleggio
6 ounces quince paste, sliced
Honey-Ricotta Pear, recipe follows
Wine-Poached Figs, recipe follows
Warm Mediterranean Olives, recipe follows
Assorted sliced bread, such as French, Italian or sourdough
Assorted crackers
Assorted dried fruit, such as apricots or cranberries
Assorted toasted nuts, such as almonds or pistachios
Assorted fresh fruits, such as grapes or sliced green apples
1 ripe Anjou or Bosc pear
1/2 a lemon
1/2 cup whole milk ricotta cheese
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
Honey, for drizzling
1 tablespoon toasted pine nuts
8 ounces dried mission figs
1/2 cup red wine
1/4 cup sugar
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 sprigs fresh thyme
Cheese and sliced bread, for serving
1/3 cup olive oil
1 large shallot, sliced
3 cloves garlic, sliced
3 tablespoons light brown sugar
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 cinnamon stick
1 strip orange peel (use a vegetable peeler)
2 cups mixed brined olives, drained
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • 1. Assemble the meats and cheeses on a large cutting board or flat platter to come to room temperature at least 30 minutes before serving.
  • 2. Place cheese knives next to each kind of cheese, small forks for the meats, and a small bowl for anything like olive pits or used toothpicks.
  • 3. If time permits, serve with at least one simple homemade item like: Honey Ricotta Pears, Wine-Poached Figs, or Warm Mediterranean Olives.
  • 4. Place the bread and crackers in a basket on the side or directly on the board. Arrange the fruits and nuts on the board or in small decorative bowls. Serve with red and white wine.
  • 1. Halve and core the pear, then cut into slices, leaving the stem-end intact and not cutting through to separate the slices. Squeeze the lemon juice over the cut side of the pear halves.
  • 2. Season the ricotta with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper, then place in 2 mounds on a plate. Top the ricotta mounds with the sliced pear halves, gently fanning out the slices. Drizzle the pears with honey and sprinkle with the pine nuts.
  • Trim and halve the figs, place in a saucepan with the wine, sugar, salt and pepper and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook until the wine is reduced by half and slightly thickened, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the thyme sprigs. Serve on top of an assertive cheese, such as blue, Taleggio, or a triple cream, spread over the bread slices.
  • Heat the oil in a heavy saucepan over medium heat. Add the shallots and garlic and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the sugar, vinegar, cinnamon stick, orange peel, and olives. Season with salt and pepper.

Antipasto Salad with Prosciutto Wrapped Breadsticks image

This is all of my favorite antipasti on top of a salad. Antipasto is a traditional first course of an Italian meal and consists of meats, olives, pickles, cheeses-all of the best food groups!

Provided by Molly Yeh

Categories     appetizer

Time 25m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

8 ounces spinach
4 ounces arugula
1/2 cup Kalamata olives, halved, brine reserved
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
8 ounces marinated mozzarella, torn
4 ounces Parmesan, crumbled
One 7-ounce jar marinated artichokes, quartered
1/2 cup sliced roasted red peppers
1/2 cup pickled sweet peppers, stemmed and halved
8 ounces tomatoes, sliced
1 pear, thinly sliced
4 ounces salami, cubed or sliced
4 ounces sliced prosciutto
6 grissini breadsticks
Balsamic glaze, for drizzling
Handful fresh basil, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Place the spinach and arugula in a large bowl. In a medium bowl or measuring cup, whisk 2 tablespoons of the olive brine with the mustard, then drizzle in the olive oil while whisking constantly to emulsify. Taste and season with salt and pepper (you might not need salt since the olive brine is salty already). Toss the greens with half of the dressing and transfer to a large shallow serving bowl. Top with the olives, mozzarella, Parmesan, artichokes, peppers, tomatoes, pear and salami. Wrap the prosciutto around the breadsticks and place them on top. Add a few drizzles of balsamic glaze (I hone in on the pear and tomatoes), then drizzle on the remaining dressing and sprinkle on the basil. Serve and enjoy!
