Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 13

3/4 lb provolone cheese, sliced thin
1/4 lb genoa salami, sliced thin
1/4 lb pepperoni, sliced thin (from the deli)
1/2 lb mozzarella cheese
1 large tomato
1 jar(s) roasted red peppers, marinated in garlic olive oil
1 jar(s) artichoke hearts, marinated in garlic olive oil
1 bunch fresh parsley
2 Tbsp soprasatta, chopped fine
2 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
fresh ground pepper
1/4 c fresh grated parmesan cheese
assorted olives, pepperoncini and banana peppers. i use the pitted kalamata olives.

Steps:

  • 1. Get out your platter and rub olive oil all over it.
  • 2. Layer your provolone cheese around the edge, overlapping. Leave room for the bowl in the middle.
  • 3. Layer the genoa in the same fashion, over the provolone. This is also where I sometimes add 1/2 slices of mortadella.
  • 4. Slice up the pepperoni in strips and place in a random fashion over the genoa and provolone.
  • 5. Slice up the mozzerella in strips and place over the pepperoni.
  • 6. Top with the chopped up soprasatta.
  • 7. Top this with the chopped sliced tomato and roasted red peppers, which have been sliced thinly.
  • 8. Add the artichoke hearts, sliced thinly, but also some chunks.
  • 9. Spoon up some of the marinade from the artichoke jar and sprinkle over the platter. I use about 4 to 6 tablespoons.
  • 10. Top with ground pepper to taste and the chopped parsley.
  • 11. Drizzle the balsamic vinegar over your creation.
  • 12. Top with the fresh parmesan.
  • 13. Now you're going to get a very sharp knife, and slice up the platter into triangle shaped wedges. Keeping it in tact, of course. I use a spatula to serve.
  • 14. Set your bowl in the middle of the platter, filled with assorted olives and pepperoncini. Sometimes I add banana peppers too.
  • 15. Best if you let the platter marinate overnight in the fridge. Serve along side a fresh load of Italian bread.
