What is Antipasto?
Antipasto, loosley translated to “before the pasta”, and is an Italian favorite. We often order antipasto at our favorite Italian restaraunt and it is served on a board similar to a charcuterie board but truly, antipasto can consist of many different things. In this case, I combine my favorite cheeses, meats and Italian inspired ingredients and thread them onto skewers. Alternating other ingredients with olives and cherry tomatoes, separated by small leaves of fresh basil adds flavor and makes for a great presentaton!
What to Add
There are so many ideas that can make these tasty apps a signature dish! CHEESE and TORTELLINI Soft, creamy balls of bocconcini (I marinate my own but you can buy marinated) and cheese tortellini. MEAT Slices of salami or any other Italian-style meats you have on hand! VEGGIES Cherry tomatoes are fresh and sweet while olives and artichoke hearts add salt. Chilled grilled asparagus or other veggies are great too.
How to Make Antipasto Skewers
Similar to Caprese Skewers, antipasto skewers can be made a day ahead as long as they are covered and refrigerated. Alternate the colors and shapes for a great presentation! Cover the platter with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve. Sprinkle with herbs and drizzle with a balsamic reduction if desired!
