Does anyone have a good recipe? or can tell me where to find one or what cookbook to look in? I want to make some and can it but I dont like the additions of seafood, I seem to taste it and it takes away from the rest for me although everyone else liked it. I wonder if I just kept the tuna and did not the shrimp? I'd like to make it soon as I think it tastes better after it stays awhile. Does anyone make it without the seafood? |

hey nancee, my uncle in law makes the antipasto that they sell in safeway, made from "something special" foods here in Edmonton. they only add tuna to theres and they are million dollar company now, selling all over canada and the states, and to think they started out in a house in sherwood park and now can't keep the demand up for it. we are spoiled now in that when hubby and i go help them around there house (they are seniors) we always get a big jar of antipasto, mmmmmmmm.

hhhmmmmm...where I come from (and I'm Italian) Antipasto means before a meal and consists of appitizers...ie., veggies, ham, olives, etc. Anything that looks like it could go on a salad....and it's sometimes dressed as a salad. It's usually on a big plate/platter and you share... Chrys

We were in Italy in Jan. and enjoyed the antipasto there very much! I grew up in Maine and our antipasto there consisted of fresh greens with salami, cheeses, black olives, anchovies, onions, and banana peppers with an oil and vinegar dressing with fresh herbs. These were served at Italian own and operated rests and stores.

O.K. Carman, that sounds good for you but I wish to make my own. I have not seen any in the Safeway here. The new Safeway store here has awful high prices so I tend to shop at our local Superstore. I have bought some at Costco and it was pretty good. I'm looking for similar recipes. Chrys and Brockie....I know thats what you folks serve as antipasto and I have done so also, but this canned stuff is great to serve with crackers and such for parties and my DH loves it with different meats and as a side with his scrambled eggs. |

I use to remember my mother and her sisters making sure that the "antipasto" was large!!! because you would nibble at it thruout the 7 course meal.... Karen

Okay, Ladies....when served like you are saying,yes it is an appetizer plate or when I've been at my Italian friends, I'd say many plates, and I love that kind of food but this is an appetizer that you would serve in a bowl that was surrounded by an assortment of crackers and is appreciated at parties as it not only tastes good but everyone likes it. I dont know who created it or what country and I am not sure how long ago. I first tasted it about six years ago and got the comment "where have you been?" when I said I did not know abiut it, so check it out.! You might like it.! |

Antipasto Recipe......Do all chopping first. Dont use ablender ( we are not making sauce)!Cook, stirring constantly,for 10 minutes the following 5 things.. 8 oz. olive oil 1very large cauliflower,cut into bite sized pieces 2 tins ripe olives, chopped 1 16 oz. tin green stuffed olives, chopped 2 12 oz. jars pickled onions,chopped..... then add....2 10 oz. tinsof mushroom stems & pieces 2 large green peppers, seeded and then chopped 2 4 oz. tins of pimento, chopped 4 15 oz. bottles of " Heinz ketchup 1 15 oz. bottle of " Heinz Hot ketchup 1 48 oz. jar of mixed pickles, chopped Simmer 10 minutes and stir often. Drain and pour boiling water over the following items to rinse....... 2 tins anchovies,chopped 3 7 oz. tins solid tuna,chopped 3 tins small shrimp Add the seafood to the mixture and put in sterilized jars, process in hot- water bath for 15 minutes. Delicious cold ,served with chips and or crackers. This is a pretty standard recipe and everyone can add or delete what they like or dislike. I believe this particular version came from the cookbook of The Best of Bridge When discussing with some of my Italian friends the response my query got from this forum, I was told most of their relatives & friends not only can jars of tomatoes & sauce for their pasta recipes etc., they also can similar as the above recipes of antipasto and they still serve the antipasto you thought I meant. Some cooks add a can of green beans, chopped. Some add a can of carrots, chopped . Some add chopped celery, etc. it depends on the cook and what they like. |
