CharCUTErie Board Recipes & Inspiration
Charcuterie is a French term that refers to various cured and preserved meat dishes, covering everything from ham and salami to patés. Charcuterie boards with show-stopping presentation have become trendy in recent years, allowing chefs to highlight their best meat dishes and home cooks to entertain. A traditional balanced board should have a range of complementary flavors and include cheeses along with meats. Pickles, olives, jams, fancy cut fruit, fresh veggies, crackers and nuts are all great items to include.
Of course, you can take creative license and change things up based on your theme, the season or holiday, or time of day (breakfast board anyone?). You can also make adjustments to accommodate dietary preferences when designing the perfect board.
