Antipasto Platter

When I was at Bertoldi's last month we had an incredible antipasto platter for an appetizer.   My mom is in town for a visit and I wanted to put together a similar tray.  So freakin' yummy!


Tray items:
Assorted olives
4 year old sharp cheddar cheese
thin slices of fresh cheese bread
olive oil and balsamic bread dipper
prosciutto
spicy salami
roasted grape tomatoes





Roasted Tomato Ingredients
1 container grape tomatoes
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Method
Preheat oven to 400 degrees . In a glass baking dish, mix everything. Roast for 20 minutes, and then stir. Add 1 tablespoon of hot water, if too dry in appearance. Return to the oven and cook for 20 to 30 more minutes. When ready, the tomatoes will have begun to shrivel and the liquid in the dish should have thickened.  I precooked these and chilled them in the fridge before serving on the antipasto appetizer tray.
