Meat and cheese platter tapas style
4 servings
10 minutes
This exquisite tapas reflects the true spirit of Spanish gastronomy – simplicity, elegance, and unexpected flavor combinations. The star of the plate is prosciutto, whose salty notes perfectly complement the tenderness of Manchego cheese. Breaking it into uneven pieces reveals its authentic texture, while the sweetness of acacia honey adds depth to the flavor. Olives provide a light freshness, and the final touch – freshly ground coffee – turns this tapas into a sensation of flavor contrasts. This technique is Jamie Oliver's signature find that revitalizes the traditional pairing of cheeses and meat delicacies. A wonderful addition to wine evenings or as an exquisite snack for gatherings with friends, this plate is a true symphony of flavors where each ingredient plays its role.
1
Arrange the prosciutto a bit chaotically at one end of a wooden board, inserting toothpicks into several pieces.
- Prosciutto: 150 g
2
On the other side, place Manchego or a similar sheep cheese. It's better not to cut Manchego but to break it into uneven pieces with a teaspoon.
- Manchego cheese: 200 g
3
Pour the cheese with acacia honey.
- Flower honey: 3 tablespoons
4
Place olives in the center and put any cheese sauce in a small sauce dish.
- Olive: 0.5 jar
5
Now for the most important touch that will give your cheese-meat platter a special flair. Next to the cheese, sprinkle freshly ground coffee. A Jamie Oliver trick. Top the cheese with a pinch of coffee and honey. The effect is stunning.
- Ground coffee: 2 tablespoons
