A charcuterie board is an appetizer typically served on a wooden board or stone slab, either eaten straight from the board itself or portioned onto flatware. It features a selection of preserved foods, especially cured meats or pâtés, as well as cheeses and crackers or bread! Thought I'd do a little kids version alongside cake and strawberries 🍓
While "charcuterie" technically means a range of different cured meats, these platters go beyond salami and prosciutto, typically featuring various cheeses, crackers, spreads and produce!
They seem to be popular party pieces - for starters, they're extremely flexible: you can adjust the ingredients for different preferences, scale the portions up or down based on the number of guests and make them as affordable (or high-end) as you'd like. You can even tie them to a certain theme, like a color, geographic region or season. But perhaps the main reason they're a must for entertaining is that they require zero culinary skills to assemble.
8 ways to make a great board 🥖🧈
1) Choose soft, pre-sliced meats (like pro (like prosciutto or jamón Ibérico), and a couple harder meats that require cutting (like a log of salami or soppressata).
2) Place harder cheeses, like a block of sharp cheddar or Manchego, alongside harder meats.
3) Add at least one spreadable cheese (like chèvre) or a dip (like tzatziki or hummus)
4) Throw in some complementary snacks. I'm talking crackers, jam, bread, pickles, fruit, honeycomb and whatever else you fancy.
5) Dress it up - beyond serving it on a pretty wooden butcher block or a marble cutting board, consider working in other decorative elements.
6) Tiny label tags are helpful and cute, while little bowls and plates to hold preserves or fruit add colour and dimension to the spread.
7) Pick the right size board.
8) If its for the family (kids especially) then keeping it simple is key - you can never go wrong with string cheese, crackers and juice boxes.
Also - if you are wondering how to pronounce charcuterie, you are not alone on this, lots of people want to know how to properly “say” charcuterie? It’s pronounced “shahr-kyu-tuh-ree
