Today, store shelves amaze with a variety of meat products. A large selection gives rise to many doubts about which type of meat or sausage to give preference to. But even more important is the serving of the meat platter, originality and creativity will be the best seasoning to this dish. Moreover, the more diverse the set of meat products, the more appetizing and beautiful the meat cuts will look.
Instructions
Step 1
First of all, remove the casing from meat and sausage products. Then cut them with a sharp knife at an angle into thin slices so that the cut is oval. If you have a slicer, then the process is much easier, otherwise very sharp knives are required.
Step 2
The surface of the ham, pork and tongue should be cleaned with a sharp knife to remove dried dark crusts. The meat must be cut across the grain with a well-sharpened knife with a narrow, long blade. The blade should cut through the product completely in one stroke. When all the products are prepared, you can start directly serving the meat cuts.
Step 3
Even sliced meats just laid on fresh lettuce leaves look very impressive. This is a great quick-and-dirty option when you don't have time to cook something more complicated.
Step 4
Cold cuts, served on a large flat platter sprinkled with curry or paprika, look no less advantageous. The whole picture can be supplemented with several types of sauces served in gravy boats and stirred on the same dish.
Step 5
You can make a flower from thin slices of sausage, brisket, balyk, and its petals from slices of meat of a different type, then decorate everything with herbs. You can complicate the design of the meat cuts by making the “meat flower” more luxuriant. Cut the boiled sausage, jerky, carbonate into very thin slices. Fold them in half and, pressing tightly together, secure them with a scallion feather in this position. Lay the second layer more loosely, fix it again, and bend the flower petals slightly to the sides. Lay the bottom layer on the platter even more loosely.
Step 6
You can beautifully arrange cuts of meat not only with the help of herbs, but also with fruits. For example, kiwi, lemon, or strawberries are perfect for this purpose. Another option for decorating the slices can be vegetable flowers. Beetroot or tomato rose, cucumber, leek or radish flowers will do the job well. Calla lilies made from slices of cheese for toasts and olives also look beautiful.
Step 7
It will turn out very exquisitely if you combine flowers from vegetables with living plants. Such a dish will look attractive and will be appreciated by the guests.
Step 8
The buffet does not imply a long feast, therefore, snacks are served in an appropriate form, it can be canapes or small rolls. Meat pieces strung on skewers or toothpicks and fixed on a base look very impressive. The meat slices rolled up in the form of a roll can be placed in a vertical plane by folding them on a platter with a slide. You can make a salad bowl.
Step 9
With enough free time, you can create a whole bouquet on a dish, combining flowers from various vegetables, cheese, sausages, herbs and pickled vegetables in it.
