Appetizer platter – just a variety of delicious pre-meal preparations, in fact it is perfect for informal occasions: eating "grass" while talking and sipping delicious cocktails. You can eat appetizers at any time of the year, and nothing beats the mountain of food, especially salami, smoked ham, olives and cheese!
The content of the platter varies from region to region, which means there is a great deal of freedom in assembling the platter. There are no strict rules, you can match them according to your taste (or the taste of your guests) and the ingredients you have at hand, the most common types of platter ingredients are the following!
Western appetizer platter with slices of salami ham
First, Parma ham
The star of the appetizer plate, sweet and savoury bacon with both a buttery flavor and a stretch, is a successful combination, especially when paired with cheese and full olives.
2. Fresh Italian cheese
We absolutely love to pair our appetizers with fresh mozzarella cheese, especially when it has a unique shape, and the platter is even more eye-catching.
3. Roast the artichokes
You can roast artichokes and season to perfection... Or you can open a can of artichokes to get the same result! Tender artichokes are a staple in hors d'oeuvres, but getting them in season is tricky and can only be obtained in cans.
In addition, the content of Western appetizers is generally divided into cold and hot dishes, and common varieties are caviar, foie gras, smoked salmon, chicken tail cup, cream chicken crisp box, baked snails and so on.
