Char-spookery board
- Preparation and cooking time
- Prep:
- No cook
- Easy
- Serves 8 - 10
Ingredients
- 2 x 250g camembert
- punnet of black grapes
- mini pumpkins or gourds (see tip below)
- hummus or dips of your choice
- caramelised onion chutney
- 100g pitted green olives
- 100g mixed nuts
- charcuterie of your choice (we used prosciutto, peppered salami and chorizo)
- breadsticks or grissini
- 4-6 figs, halved or quartered
- 1 pomegranate, halved
- handful of dried apricots
- 2 celery sticks, cut into crudités
- crackers (charcoal look good)
- small baguette, sliced
- Halloween decorations, such as spiders or eyeballs, to decorate (optional)
Method
- STEP 1
Get out a large board or platter. Cut semi-circles from each side of the rind of the camembert and small triangles from the bottom so they look like skulls. Halve two grapes to make eyes and quarter a third to make noses. Put the camembert on the board. Slice the offcuts of cheese and set aside.
- STEP 2
Put a few mini pumpkins on the board and fill one or two with hummus or a dip, if you like (see tip, below). Put a few small bowls on the board and fill with the olives and nuts. Arrange the other ingredients around so everything is nestled together. Add Halloween decorations, if you like.
