Summer Antipasto…Endless possibilities

A selection of goodies
Happy 2008 everyone! The new year saw us sweltering here in Sydney. With temperatures in the mid to high 30’s I was at a loss at what to cook. Nobody wants to be stuck in a hot kitchen sweating away. This is where the famous Italian antipasto or Greek “meze” come into play. It’s very simple to throw a few things together and nibble at a little bit of everything. Plump, marinated Kalamata and green olives. Freshly sliced cucumbers. Quick roasted tomatoes. Cold meats, tzatziki and toasted olive ciabatta. Let your taste buds have fun. Throw in a good bottle of wine and before you know it, lunch is served.
For now I’ll make this a visual feast. I’ll follow with recipes and ingenious ways to use them over the next few days. Now get ready to drool…
Get creative with ingredients lying around
Lay out a spread…let everyone help themselves
Succulent cold meats…Hot Salami, Mortadella and Sopressa
Lots of olives…
