Get Your Graze On for Game Night

 

When it's game night (or date night) at home, we’re all about having fun, being playful, and enjoying each other's company.

This easy to make grazing platter recipe idea will not only tantalise your taste buds but also keep the energy high as you launch into a hilarious round of Reckless Together. So, grab the game, get ready to laugh, and let's create a mouthwatering masterpiece!

Ingredients:

  • Assorted Cheeses: Choose a selection of your favourites, like creamy brie, tangy cheddar, and crumbly feta. Aim for a variety of textures and flavours.
  • Deli Meats: Opt for a mix of cured meats such as prosciutto, salami, and sliced ham. These will add a savoury touch to your platter.
  • Crackers, Pretzels and Breadsticks: Include an assortment of crispy crackers and crunchy breadsticks for that satisfying crunch.
  • Fresh Fruits: Slice up some juicy grapes, crisp apple wedges, and sweet strawberries. The burst of fruity flavours will balance the richness of the cheeses and meats.
  • Nuts: Add a handful of almonds, walnuts, or pistachios for a delightful nutty crunch.
  • Dips and Spreads: Offer a selection of dips and spreads like hummus, tzatziki, or a tangy tomato chutney to add a burst of flavour to every bite.
  • Olives: A bowl of marinated olives, whether green, black, or stuffed with goodies, will bring some briny goodness to the platter.
  • Fresh Herbs: Garnish your platter with sprigs of fresh herbs like rosemary or basil for an aromatic touch.


Method:

  1. Prepare a large platter or wooden board to display your tasty creation. You can include decorative touches like colourful cocktail napkins and small bowls for dips.
  2. Start by arranging your bowls of dips slightly off-center in the middle of the platter for easy dipping access and to anchor your design.
  3. Next, place the cheeses in piles across  the platter. Slice some, cube others, and let your creativity guide you. Remember, this is all about playful presentation!
  4. Place the deli meats next to the cheeses, rolling or folding them into petal shapes.
  5. Fill the gaps with an array of crackers, pretzels and breadsticks, creating inviting paths to explore on your platter.
  6. Add pops of vibrant colour by arranging the fresh fruit around the board, again filling any gaps.
  7. Scatter the nuts and olives across the platter for textural contrast and bursts of flavour.
  8. Finally, use sprigs of fresh herbs to fill every last gap and add a fragrant touch with a splash of green.
