Picada Argentina
A quintessential Argentine social gathering starter, the Picada is a generous platter featuring an assortment of cured meats, artisanal cheeses, briny olives, crunchy nuts, and crusty bread. It's designed for sharing and conversation, often enjoyed before a traditional 'asado' (barbecue).
🧂 Składniki
- 400 g Assorted Cheeses(Include a variety such as hard cheeses (e.g., aged cheddar, Gruyère), semi-hard (e.g., Gouda, Provolone), and a soft cheese if desired (e.g., brie). Aim for a mix of textures and flavors.)
- 300 g Cured Meats(Select a variety of charcuterie like salami, prosciutto, chorizo, mortadella, or any preferred cold cuts. Slice thinly.)
- 150 g Olives(A mix of green and black olives works well. Ensure they are pitted for easy eating.)
- 100 g Nuts(A combination of almonds, walnuts, cashews, or pistachios provides a pleasant crunch.)
- for serving Breadsticks or Baguette Slices(Thinly sliced baguette, toasted or fresh, or good quality breadsticks are essential for scooping and complementing the other ingredients.)
- to taste Optional Additions(Consider adding marinated artichoke hearts, sun-dried tomatoes, cornichons, or a small bowl of dips like aioli or hummus for extra flavor and texture.)
