🫒 Antipasto misto
Antipasto misto is the classic Italian mixed starter platter: thin slices of cured meats such as prosciutto, salami and mortadella, arranged with olives, marinated artichoke hearts and fresh mozzarella. It needs no cooking, only good ingredients and careful arranging. It is served at the start of a meal for the table to share, often with a drizzle of olive oil.

Recipe
Ingredients
- 80 g prosciutto crudo, thinly sliced
- 80 g salami, thinly sliced
- 80 g mortadella, thinly sliced
- 125 g fresh mozzarella (or mozzarella balls)
- 100 g mixed olives
- 150 g marinated artichoke hearts, drained
- Fresh basil, black pepper, 1 tbsp olive oil
Method
- Take the meats and mozzarella out of the fridge 15 minutes before serving.
- Fold or loosely ruffle the slices of prosciutto, salami and mortadella and arrange them in groups on a large board.
- Tear the mozzarella into pieces and fill the gaps with mozzarella, olives and artichokes.
- Finish with basil, black pepper and a light drizzle of olive oil.
How to make it lighter
- Favour prosciutto with the visible fat trimmed off; salami and mortadella are the richest meats on the plate.
- Fill half the board with artichokes, plus extra raw vegetables such as cherry tomatoes and fennel.
- Skip the olive oil drizzle — the meats and olives are rich enough, and 1 tbsp oil is about 120 kcal.
History
Antipasto means “before the meal”, and platters of cured meats, cheese and preserved vegetables have long opened festive Italian meals. There is no single recipe: each region fills the plate with its own salumi and pickles, from Emilian mortadella to southern olives and artichokes.
