Equipment

  • Large platter or tray (any shape you like; I use a large round platter)
  • Glasses to shape meat roses
  • Rubber bands
  • Paper towels

Ingredients

  • 2 packages Pepperoni 7 oz.
  • 2 packages Salame 7 oz.
  • ounces fresh bay leaves dried bay leaves can also be used
  • ounces fresh rosemary leaves
  • 2 ounces brie cheese cut into triangles
  • 2 Tablespoons dried cranberries
  • 10 kalamata olives
  • 6 Blue Cheese Stuffed olives
  • 4 ounces mozzarella pearls
  • ¼ cup pecans or walnuts
  • pine cones to decorate optional
  • maraschino cherries to decorate optional
  • your choice of honey and mustard to use as dip

Instructions

  • Set your glass in front of you and start folding individual slices of Galileo® Salame over the rim of the glass. Overlap the slices and hold them down tightly so they hug the rim. You will need about 10 to 12 slices.

  • Once layered, flip the glass upside-down and carefully remove the salami rose onto a plate.

  • Repeat the layering process for the Galileo® Pepperoni. Once layered, take a paper towel and place it over the top. Fold it down the sides and rubber band it to the glass, then place it in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes.

  • Rest your olives on the tray neatly over the salami. I like to rest mine near the meat roses for support and because they really bring out the roses.
