Antipasto means
"before the meal" and is the traditional first
course of a formal
Italian meal.
If you haven't already tried Antipasto, please do. It is delicious! I simply serve it with crackers.
This is a recipe that my sister, Charlotte, gave me about 12 years ago.
Antipasto
1 tin mushrooms
½ lb cauliflower
1 cup pickled onions
2 cups dill pickles
1 small can of green beans (finely chopped)
1 each green and red pepper
1 cup stuffed green olives(finely chopped)
1 tin flaked white tuna (drained well)
2 cups ketchup
1/3 cup olive oil
1/3 cup white vinegar

Place olive oil, ketchup and vinegar into large
pot.
Set aside the tuna, green beans olives.
Prepare all remaining ingredients by pulsing in
food processor to a pea-size texture.
Place all chopped ingredients in pot with
liquids and stir well.
Slowly bring to a boil, then simmer and stir
for ten minutes.
Remove from heat and immediately stir in tuna, beans
and olives
Spoon into sterilized jars and seal.
ENJOY!!!!!!!
*************************************************************************
The first time I made it, the task was monumental, as I didn't have a food processor
and had to finely chop all the ingredients.
Now I just toss it all in the food processor and pulse a few time, and voila!
This stuff smells amazing as it is cooking.
and looks quite lovely on the shelf in my pantry
If you have a different recipe for antipasto, or if you try this one, let me know.
Have a great week!
Cheers
