Ingredients
Directions
- Purchase high-quality pre-sliced pepperoni or salami.
- Choose a small glass, such as a wine goblet or champagne flute.
- Arrange the salami slices around the rim of the glass, pressing and folding them downward as you add each one.
- Continue layering slices around and around, pushing them into the center.
- Turn the glass upside down and set it on a platter to reveal a lovely salami rose.
- Begin with both pre-sliced and whole sausages and salami. Fold, stack, or create salami roses.
- Incorporate hard cheeses, cutting them into thin triangles, small cubes, or serving as small wedges.
- Add semi-soft cheeses like brie; use a small cookie cutter to remove the center, then fill the hole with finely diced dried apricots and a drizzle of honey.
- Fill any empty spaces with small items like nuts, candies, or crackers.
- Include fruits such as purple grapes or pomegranate seeds, and fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme sprigs.
