These look really pretty stacked up. Don’t bring them out into the garden in ones or twos, make a big display on a whole tray
My wife’s family are Italian and, to them, this is the proper way of eating.
160g pitted green olives
160g artichokes in oil
200g provolone cheese, cubed 150g of salami, cubed
250g mozzarella pearls 80ml olive oil
40ml red wine vinegar 1 tsp of sugar
1 tsp dried oregano
Don’t serve lemon slices with food – they’re for your drink – use wedges instead. For juice, squeeze half a lemon through your fingers to catch those pesky pips
Handful of fresh basil leaves Crusty bread, to serve
Put the olives, artichokes, provolone cheese, salami and mozzarella into a large bowl. To make the dressing, combine olive oil, red wine vinegar and the sugar and oregano.
Give the dressing a good stir, then pour it over the salad ingredients.
Add a handful of torn basil leaves, and serve with crusty bread.
This delicious fish dish is my father-in-law’s absolute favourite.
Bamboo skewers 20 sardines, cleaned and gutted with heads left on Salt and pepper
Olive oil
3 tbsp chopped parsley 1 garlic clove, very finely chopped
2 tbsp of chopped capers Lemon wedges, to serve (see top tip above)
Soak bamboo skewers in cold water for 30 mins. This will stop the skewers from burning during grilling.
Pre-heat the grill to a medium-high heat, then take a bamboo skewer and pierce each sardine from head to tail. Season the sardines with salt and pepper and drizzle on a little bit of olive oil. Place the skewers on a grill and cook for approximately 3 minutes on each side.
Make the dressing by mixing the parsley, garlic and capers together. Season with salt and a little bit of oil.
Lay your grilled sardines on a large plate and pour over your zingy, herby dressing. Serve.
