Greetings! Let’s start making all of the components for our Christmas Eve Antipasto Platter! I always, without fail, make an antipasto platter for Christmas Eve. It is hands down, my mothers favorite meal of the year, she will always relish this offering and tuck herself comfortably in front of this large platter at the kitchen table and just munch away. She always says she doesn’t need the rest of the meal, just the antipasto.
I always put a vast selection of things on my antipasto platter and marinated vegetables are always a part of that. If you go to the store, and look in the specialty foods section, which is pretty much the only place you are going to find these, you will see that you are going to pay a hefty price for a little bit of product. There is no need to break the bank, with a little planning and a trip to the canned veggie aisle, you will be on your way to a great marinated artichoke heart and/or mushroom without blowing your budget.
Simply drain some canned plain artichoke hearts and put them in a container or jar that you can seal tightly, add some chopped garlic and herbs of your choice and top off with a 3 to 1 ratio of your favorite Italian salad dressing and water. Simple! Allow these to sit in the fridge for a couple days or at least one day to allow the flavors to mingle and you will be ready to put that platter together when the time comes.
I hope you try this and I hope you enjoy it. As always, Happy Eating!
Look for the antipasto platter at the end of the week. I promise to give you enough time to run to the store to get what you need, if you want to make your own!

A Very Christ filled Christmas to you ! What a joy your channel is to me & so many !
Best wishes to you and your family, I hope you get through Christmas without too much hassle x
omgoodness my hubby would LOVE both the mushrooms and the artichoke hearts, Im a big meanie and I dont like either so I dont ever buy them for him.. he will have been to heaven if I do this 😀 question.. do you chop your own garlic and jar it or do you buy it that way?? How many cloves do you think you used in each jar??? thank you soo much for all you do Noreen and have a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
@shweetpotato I buy that jar at walmart. That will last me 3 or 4 months the way we go through garlic it is quick, easy and cheap. It lasts a long time and tastes good. I also use fresh garlic, but who wants to peel and chop that amount of garlic? Sometimes i err or the side of convenience.
@zebraluna I think you could easily do that just put the mushrooms in a packet of foil and pour over the dressing and garlic and herbs of your choice, steam roast for about 30 minutes and then into the fridge. I think they would turn out just fine!
Thank you so much, will have to make hubby go grab me some 😀
