Method

Preparation of Cured Meats

  1. 1

    Arrange the Meats

    On a large wooden or marble board, arrange each type of cured meat in small, overlapping portions to create an appealing display. Use a variety of shapes and sizes to add visual interest.

Preparation of Pickles

  1. 2

    Add Seasonal Pickles

    Place the cornichons, pickled red onions, and pickled carrots in small bowls or directly on the board to provide a contrast in color and texture next to the meats.

Making House-Made Mustard

    Combine Ingredients

    In a small mixing bowl, combine the yellow mustard, honey, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, and salt. Stir well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.

  2. 4

    Taste and Adjust

    Taste the mustard and adjust the salt according to preference. If you prefer a sweeter mustard, add more honey.

  3. 5

    Transfer to Serving Dish

    Transfer the mustard to a small serving dish and place it on the charcuterie board.

Adding Accompaniments

  1. 6

    Include Artisan Bread and Cheese

    Slice the artisan bread into bite-sized pieces and arrange them on the board. Add the cheese next to the bread in an appealing manner.

  2. 7

    Finish with Olives

    Scatter the olives around the board for a pop of color and additional flavor.
