Fresh roasted red peppers, cornichons and mild pickled pepper rings make up this easy, yet versatile side dish.
This past weekend I served an antipasto platter over drinks, which is my favorite way to eat. Bit of this, bit of that, it’s just fun. But I don’t like to just serve deli meats and cheeses, because, I like to incorporate some homemade dishes also, but nothing too complex. I made mushroom pâté, which was really easy and so tasty and this roasted red pepper relish, which is even easier to make. Adding these 2 easy dishes to the antipasto gives a homemade feel instead of just a collection of store bought items.
