Instructions
HOW TO MAKE A SALAMI ROSE
Fold each salami in half to make a half circle shape, then lay them in an overlapping line. The salami should overlap about a third over the next slice. The straight part of each salami should be in line with the straight part of the next one.
After the roll, flip the salami rose around to sit straight. Add 4 slices of salami folded in half on each side of the meat rose with the straight part facing the rose. Take 1 half folded salami slice and wrap one side of the rose, then repeat with the other 3. For a bigger rose, you can add another 4 more slices. The straight part should be at the bottom of the salami rosette.
Finally, arrange the salami petals to a looser fit. You can slightly pull on each piece of salami to make it look more like a rose. Add fresh sage around the salami rose to make it look like leaves and help secure the rose.
Marble Cheese 4 Leaf Clover
Take your 4 leaf clover cutter and press out the leaf clover with the Marble Cheese cheese slice. Set to the side.
How to assemble the charcuterie board
Add the ramekins for the sauerkraut, Thousand Island dressing and the brown spicy mustard on the board.
Take your peppered salami and fold it in half and then fold it again into quarters.
Stack the salami together in a line, use a toothpick to hold the salami together. and set to the side.
Take your corned beef and roll it and set to the side.
Place all of the cheese on the board.
Keep each individual type / flavour of cheese separate from each other.
Place the vegetables on the board.
Add the deli rose, rolled corned beef, and peppered salami on the board.
Place the soft pretzels on the board in the center.
Add the green olives on the board and add the Kiwi as a garnish.
If you really want to secure the meat rose, you can push a toothpick straight at the bottom of the rose flower made from cured meat to hold it together. If you have the salami rose set tightly beside other meats, cheese, or fruits, it will hold together nicely.
