Board
- 1-2 blocks Parmigiano Reggiano, plus shavings for decoration
Select a board/chopping board to use for serving.
Chop the figs and the pears into halves.
Place two wedges of Parmigiano Reggiano in the centre of the board. You can also use one of the wedges to take some shavings from and use as decoration for the board.
Gather the grapes in a bunch and place them on to the board.
Mix the different salad leaves together in a bowl. Slightly drizzle a little olive oil over the leaves and mix together.
Build them up gently on the board so that there is a good height to the salad.
Slice the artichoke hearts and place them along with pickled fennel into a small ramekin.
Take the slices of prosciutto and gently fold and twist them in to rough ribbons. Stack on top of each other to make a neat pile.
Place the dried apricots, anchovies, Marcona almonds and silver skin onions around different areas of the board.
Serve this as a light meal or as an aperitivo.
The Staff Canteen has always been more than a website—it’s a community, built by and for hospitality. We share the wins, the challenges, the graft, and the inspiration that keeps kitchens alive.
We believe in staying open to everyone, but creating this content takes real resources. If you’ve ever found value here—whether it’s a recipe, an interview, or a laugh when you needed it most—consider giving just £3 to keep it going.
A little from you keeps this space free for all. Let’s keep lifting the industry, together.
