antipasto platter
Ingredients:
8 ounces castelvetrano olives
6 ounces roasted marcona almonds with rosemary
6 ounces manchego
¼ pound of mortadella, sliced paper-thin
Directions:
Drain the olives and place in a small dish or bowl.
Place the almonds in another small dish or bowl.
Cut the rind off the manchego cheese and thinly slice into triangles.
Roll the paper-thin mortadella slices into cigarette-like rolls. Cut in half.
Place the olives and almonds on a large platter (make sure you have a small dish for the olive pits). Fan out the manchego on one side and the mortadella on the other.
