Antipasto Skewers

This Holiday Season may look a little different, but just because you are celebrating with a Micro-Christmas Dinner, it does not mean it cannot be festive and incredibly delicious!

Start the meal with a flavour packed appetizer of antipasto skewers to wake up the appetite… and since you can make the skewers in advance, you will get to sit and enjoy them with your loved ones.

Ingredients
  • 2 large roasted red peppers, sliced into 10 equal strips and folded
  • 10 bocconcini balls (cherry sized) 
  • 10 stuffed green mammoth olives 
  • 10 pitted Kalamata olives 
  • 10 small pickled peperoncini peppers (jar)
  • 10 grilled button mushrooms (jar)
  • 10 slices spicy salami, folded to fit skewer
  • 10 grape or cherry tomatoes 
  • 10 leaves fresh basil
Preparation

Special equipment: 10 x 6” skewers

Cut the roasted red pepper on a small plate reserving the excess juices.

Toss the bocconcini balls in the red pepper juices and set aside.

Thread the skewers as follows: Kalamata olive, peperoncini pepper, tomato, basil, bocconcini, salami, mushroom, red pepper, green olive.

Serve on a board or platter.

Make in the morning, cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate.

Remove 15 minutes prior to serving and allow to come to room temperature.

These Antipasto Skewers plus my Slow Roasted Leg of Lamb recipe, can be found with my other Holiday Entertaining recipes here

Cioppino (Fisherman’s Stew). After dropping off Cioppino (Fisherman’s Stew).
After dropping off the chicken pot pie at my mother-in-law’s, we stopped by the fish market to get some wild shrimp, wild squid & organic mussels. I had made lobster stock 2 weeks ago and pulled it out of the freezer for tonight’s dinner.
I used the recipe from my blog: zimmysnook.ca changing out the clams for mussels.

Quiet lockdown Saturday dinner. If you want to up Quiet lockdown Saturday dinner.
If you want to up your charcuterie/cheese/mezze board offering, try warming a selection of olives in evoo with orange (or clementine) peel, fresh rosemary, pepper flakes and s&p. Mix everything in an 8.5” skillet and heat over medium heat until the oil begins to sizzle. Lower the heat and sauté for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the olives are fragrant and heated through. Serve warm right from the skillet or transfer to a serving bowl.

A very large roaster chicken, cooked on the rotiss A very large roaster chicken, cooked on the rotisserie.
I’ve been wanting to test out the rotisserie on my new @HestanHome grill, so I picked up this very large, local chicken, dry rubbed it and let it sit in the fridge overnight.
Then simply cooked it on low and let nature take its course.

The rotisserie system is an ultra quiet, concealed, motorized chain driven system, which can hold up to 50 pounds, and always stays perfectly balanced. Incredible design! 👍👍

Beef Bulgogi Bibimbap. Rice, carrots, Chinese broc Beef Bulgogi Bibimbap.
Rice, carrots, Chinese broccoli, red cabbage, mushrooms, Korean chives, bean sprouts, beef bulgogi, Korean chilies, green onions, fried eggs. Served with spicy sauces & kimchi.
Since I don’t have stone bowls, we assembled & served ours in a pan, so I could crisp up the rice on the bottom, before mixing it in individual bowls and digging in!
