Antipasti Platter

Serves 4

Ingredients:

4 slices smoked salmon
4 very thin slices red onion
1 tablespoon/15 g drained capers
4 thin slices prosciutto
One 6-ounce/170-g jar marinated artichoke hearts, drained
5 1/2 ounces/150 g bocconcini mozzarella cheese
3 1/2 ounces/100 g caramelized onions
3 1/2 ounces/100 g mixed olives
2 teaspoons/less than 5 g chopped fresh chives
2 tablespoons/30 ml olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 plain bagels, each cut horizontally into 4 slices

Method:

Arrange the slices of smoked salmon on one end of a large serving platter. Sprinkle slices of red onion and capers atop the smoked salmon. Arrange the slices of prosciutto on the opposite end of the platter.

Place the artichoke hearts, cheese, onions and olives on the platter between the salmon and prosciutto. Sprinkle the chives over the cheese. Preheat a grill pan over a medium to high heat.

Lightly brush the cut sides of the bagel slices with the olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill the bagel slices for about 1 ½ minutes per side or until they are heated through and grill marks appear. Serve the grilled bagel slices with the antipasti.
