A planchette mixte is a wooden board of cured meats and cheeses shared over drinks in French bars and bistros. It usually brings together air-dried ham or beef, slices of dry sausage, two or three cheeses, small pickles such as cornichons, and fresh baguette. The mix of salty, rich and sharp flavours makes it a classic sharing plate before or instead of dinner.

Recipe

Ingredients

80 g air-dried meat, thinly sliced
80 g dry sausage, sliced
120 g mixed cheeses (hard and soft)
60 g cornichons or other pickles
150 g baguette, sliced
A few grapes or cherry tomatoes (optional)

Method

Take the cheeses out of the fridge 30 minutes before serving.
Slice the sausage and cut the cheeses into wedges or sticks.
Arrange the meats, cheeses and pickles on a wooden board, leaving gaps.
Fill the gaps with fruit or tomatoes and serve with sliced baguette.

How to make it lighter

Fill half the board with pickles, tomatoes, cucumber and grapes to bulk it up for few calories.
Choose leaner air-dried meats over fatty sausage; cheese is the densest item on the board.
Decide your share before you start, for example 30 g cheese and 30 g meat, and log the bread separately.

History

The planchette is a fixture of the French apéro, the early-evening drink with small bites. Today it is found on the menu of most wine bars and brasseries in France and in French-style bars abroad.
