Grazing Boxes
Report
Grazing Boxes encompass the idea of small plates, tapas, 'picky' finger food, and appetizers all rolled into one beautifully presented Box. Choose ingredients that compliment each other and use seasonal foods.

Ingredients
- 9 oz cured meat Prosciutto, Salamis, Sopressata, Coppa, smoked ham, Saucisson and Cervelat are some examples.
- 9 oz Cheeses Cheese can be sliced, block, soft, semi soft, or hard, mild or mature. I used sliced provolone, Irish Cheddar, Dutch style Edam and Camembert.
- 4 oz spiced pecans or other type of nuts that are roasted, whole, salted, or glazed.
- 1 bulb roasted garlic
- 5 oz marinated olives
- 6 prigs fresh herbs such as rosemary and thyme.
- 3 oz pomegranate seeds
- 4 oz sugared cranberries
- 2 mandarin oranges
- 12 oz crackers about 2 boxes, choose from water, multigrain, butter, herbed, or flatbread.
Instructions
- Use a food grade box. Failing that, use a box and line it well with wax or parchment paper.
- Slice any meats that need to be sliced. First remove the outer layer of protective 'skin' around the dried sausages. Cut the slices as thinly as possible.
- Slice any blocks or rounds of cheese. Remove protective wax coverings first. The ripened surface of Camembert or Brie should be left in tact. DO NOT cut block cheese into cubes, slices present better!
- Prepare the pomegranate (see the main body of the post with instructions and images how to do this.)
- Start to fill the box. Arrange meats vertically, by folding them in an accordion style or folding and laying them at a 45 degree angle. Sliced meats can also be arranged in a rose formation too.
- Present moist food such as marinated olives in a small container or use sliced cheese or salami and fold into a cone and fill with olives, cheeses such as feta or mozzarella that have been stored in oil or other moisture filled foods.
- Continue to arrange meats and cheeses, then add the accoutrements and herb garnishes.
- Refrigerate until use. Remove from the refrigerator one house before consumption to allow the ingredients to reach room temperature.

Notes
