I’ve been tagged in so many posts about Christmas grazing boards! Anyone would think I have a thing for trays of yummy food 😁
Anyway I decided to make my own. If you’d like to make something similar, here’s how.
Here’s what I used
A selection of sliced meat such as parma ham, salami etc
Large and small green olives
Artichokes
Sunblush tomatoes
Cherry tomatoes
Feta
Purple grapes
Cocktail sticks
Thyme
Basil
Large plate or tray
Ribbon to finish
Method
I tried a few ways of creating a wreath shape and this is the best method I found. You basically need to create lots of cocktail stick kebabs! Think 1986 and your Mum’s made a hedgehog for your birthday party, except instead of pineapple and pickled onions, you’ve got skewers of delicious antipasta.
Try to make them in a tapered shape so that the bulkier foods are at one end and something small acts as a stopper at the other. This will make it easier to curve them around into a wreath.
If you pinch a slice of salami in the middle, it looks like a little bow. You can also loosely roll parma ham and it looks a bit like a rose.
On a large plate or a tray, arrange the mini kebabs in a circle and garnish with Basil and Thyme. If you’re feeling fancy you can add a little bow to complete the wreath.
What do you think?
