This impressive platter has something for everyone..roasted vegetables, cheeses, meats, marinated vegetables, and a lot of variety and taste. And it makes a beautiful presentation and who doesn't like to ogle over a giant platter of delicious bites?
If you opt to grill or roast your veggies, give yourself an extra 30 minutes for them to cook. Additionally, roasted vegetables from the deli counter or frozen aisle work quite well for these platters.
Pan roasted mushrooms
Prepare mushrooms by brushing off any debris from mushrooms. Make sure any dirt is completely removed from the mushrooms.
Add olive oil to the pan, add mushrooms, and sliced garlic. Allow to start mushrooms to start sizzling. Sauté the mushrooms and garlic.
Add 1/4 cup of dry white wine or water and cook down until wine or water evaporates. Add extra virgin olive oil if needed.
Pan roast the mushrooms for about 10 more minutes until tender. Remove from heat.
These pan-roasted mushrooms can be served warm or at room temperature.
Antipasto
Using a large platter, start arranging ingredients one at a time.
Arrange the meats, red peppers, red cherry peppers, cheeses and vegetables.
For ingredients that have more liquid, place those in small dishes and arrange with the platter. Examples that require small dishes are olives, marinated cheeses, and the Italian giardiniera.
Once all the antipasti are arranged on the platter. Add some grissini and some crostini in a bread basket.
Enjoy!
