How to Make a Simple Charcuterie Board Recipe

Описание: You will absolutely love this easy-to-assemble charcuterie board that is jam-packed with cured meats, aged cheeses, fruit, pickled vegetables, spreads, and more. This is one show-stopping appetizer that will have everyone talking.

Pronounced shahr-KOO-tuhr-ee, Charcuterie translates in common terms from French to English as, “deli.” The world was formally taken from the term cuiseur de chair, which means “cooker of meat.” The art of charcuterie has been a French staple since the 15th century. The word itself refers to but is not limited to, pork specialties such as patés, rillettes, galatines, fresh, cured, and dried meats.

In the past 15-20 years a charcuterie board has turned into a combination plate filled with meats, cheeses, fruits, and other ingredients. I like to consider it the French version of the Italian antipasto platter. As charcuterie boards have gained popularity, you will also often see this dish as an option as an appetizer on menus across the US.
