Seacuterie Platter Recipes

Steps:

• Arrange everything on a platter and serve.

Steps:

• A grazing board combines the best of a cheeseboard and charcuterie platter into one indulgent selection of food. There's no strict recipe for a grazing board - simply gather together all your favourite nibbles, and arrange on a large platter or plate to share. You could do a mixture of meats and cheese, or go entirely vegetarian or vegan. The key things to remember when creating your platter, to make it look (and taste) as impressive as possible, are: ● Make sure you assemble the board just before serving so everything is fresh ● Always include crackers, breadsticks or bread to use as a vessel for cheeses or dips ● Use small bowls or ramekins to hold small items and dips, like olives, nuts and chutneys ● Use a good variety of ingredients. For example, aim for one hard and one soft cheese, two or three different cured meats, and a few varieties of fruits and nuts ● If you use larger fruits, like figs or clementines, chop and tear them into different shapes, so that the fruit is easier to pick up and looks more appealing on the platter ● Swirl any dips into ramekins, and top with olive oil, seeds or chopped herbs ● Fill in any gaps on your platter with bay leaves or rosemary sprigs to decorate ● Bundle any cured meats into nests, or roll or fold to create a variety of textures

Steps:

• For the pâté, blitz the trout, soft cheese, capers and mustard in a food processor, then season with salt, pepper and the lemon juice. Will keep covered in the fridge for up to two days. For the prawns, mix the soured cream, mayo, red onion, dill, lemon juice and hot sauce in a bowl, then toss in the prawns to coat. Will keep covered in the fridge for a day.
• Spoon the pâté into a small bowl and the prawns into another. Place these on a large platter with the gravadlax, smoked salmon, whole prawns, crackers, bread, blinis, lemon wedges and caperberries. Sprinkle over dill fronds, then serve.

Steps:

• Arrange shrimp, salmon, and tuna with accompanying Tataki sauce on large serving platter or board.
