Mezze Platter

This isn’t exactly a recipe but rather a reminder of what to include on a Mediterranean style platter.  The ingredients are more a list of "suggestions". Keep jars of ingredients in your pantry and you can pull together a spectacular platter with very little effort.

INGREDIENTS

  • Cucumber (sliced on the diagonal)
  • Cherry tomatoes
  • Jarred marinated vegetables – artichokes, mushrooms, olives, roasted red peppers
  • Hummus (topped with olive oil and finely chopped olives)
  • Tzatziki
  • Dolmades
  • Whipped or marinated feta cubes
  • Prosciutto wrapped asparagus if you want to take it up a notch!

TIPS & HINTS

Serve with homemade pita   bread baked on a pizza stone in the BBQ at 500° F (see Breads section).

For the local Winnipeg crowd, do NOT use Greek Market hummus. As fantastic as it is, it is too runny and you are left with a bit of a goopy mess.  In this pic I have used Costco "Humm" brand - thick enough to form the ever so important “dam” around the tzatziki!!
