Antipasti platters are great appetizers, but I also like to use skewers; they are easy to make and make an impressive presentation. You can use any number of ingredients to your liking; there is a good list of ingredients on this recipe from Giada Di Laurentiis.
Ingredients
Makes 25 skewers
10 oz. sausage or cheese tortellini
3/4 cup good Italian dressing; I like using a Balsamic Italian
1teaspoon Italian seasoning
2 jars marinated, quartered artichoke hearts
50 kalamata olives
25 green olives
50 grape tomatoes
50 thinly sliced of salami
50 thinly sliced pepperoni
25 marinated baby mozzarella balls
50 Basil leaves (can substitute spinach leaves, less costly)
Grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
25 12-inch wooden skewers
Instructions
Cook tortellini according to package directions. Drain and rinse with cold water. In a resealable container, combine the tortellini, 1/4 cup of dressing, and seasoning. Refrigerate for 1-4 hours, stirring the contents a few times.
Gather remaining ingredients when ready to assemble skewers. Fold the salami slices into fourths. Fold the basil or spinach leaves in half. Thread the wooden skewer how you like, but it's good to start and end with a kalamata olive. Try not to have similar colors next to one another - make it pretty!
Plate your skewers. Drizzle with remaining dressing and sprinkle grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese on top.
I really loved this antipasti skewers recipe the combination of marinated vegetables, cured meats, and fresh herbs makes it both simple and impressive for gatherings. Following the step-by-step instructions reminded me how useful clear guidance can be, especially when juggling multiple tasks.
