Serve this charcuterie board for Shabbos lunch along with the cholent and salads and they’ll run to the table.
Traditionally, the word “charcuterie” refers to different types of preserved meats. We loved the concept (variety is fun!), but wanted a version that was more family-friendly and perhaps more budget–friendly too. It’s really fun for everyone to choose what they like.
And when it’s all on the board, even your picky kids might become open to trying something new. What’s on the board?
* Four different types of schnitzel; ours are from Mike’s Chicken Crunchers. (Editor’s Note: We now have a recipe for his Original Crunchers here!)
* Hard Salami; we have instructions on how to make hard salami here. We also have a recipe for salami chips here.
* Candied Facon; we have a recipe here.
* Hasselback Salami; the original recipe is from BUSY in BROOKLYN. Slice the salami almost all the way down (you can use two skewers to guide you from cutting it all the way through) and top with your favorite sauce. Bake @ 400℉ for 45 minutes. Chanie from BUSY in BROOKLYN uses apricot jam, spicy brown mustard, a little brandy, ketchup, and brown sugar.
* Beef jerky; we have recipes here.
** Add grapes for color and lastly, add dips! These dips came with our Chicken Crunchers (Buffalo Sauce, Creamy Ranch and Chive, and Garlic Mayo), and we added Bone Suckin’ Mustard.
I usually do a kiddish shabbos day when I’m having guests because everyone comes from a different shul and I have people milling about hungry. This is going to be my new kiddish! Add some sushi and veggies and I’m all set! Thanks so much!
Gorgeous! Love this idea
Great idea. Thanks!
It is a really beautiful idea. As delicious as Mike’s Chicken is – it’s definitely not in the “budget-friendly” area.
We used Mikes but feel free to make your own. Obviously one can make it as budget friendly (omitting the beef bacon…) as they wish.
does the salami need to be warm? or is it also good at room temp
It’s great at room temperature.
where can I find facon in jerusalem? or is there a substitute?? thanks in advance
Love this! Where did you get the board from?
