Board ingredients

- The Lucky Pig Premium Sliced Leg Ham
- The Lucky Pig Jalapeño Kabana
- Lavosh crackers
- Grissini breadsticks
- Semi-dried tomatoes

- Hard cheese (e.g. Manchego)
- Soft cheese (e.g. Brie or Camembert)

Dip: Whipped Feta with Carrot & Caraway Seed
- 2 medium carrots, sliced
- 50 g butter
- 200 g Danish feta
- ½ cup Greek yoghurt
- Juice of ½ lemon
- 1 tsp caraway seeds
- Handful of dill
- Sea salt & cracked pepper
Method
- Sauté the carrots: Melt butter in a pan over medium heat. Add carrots and caraway seeds; cook until the edges are golden. Set aside to cool.
- Whip the feta: In a food processor, blend feta and lemon juice until smooth and airy. Add yoghurt, the cooled carrots, lemon zest and dill. Pulse until incorporated (keep some carrot texture). Season to taste.
- Assemble the board: Spread the whipped feta in a bowl. Arrange smallgoods, cheeses, and accompaniments on a large board. Serve with lavosh and grissini.
Pro tips
- Balance: Aim for a mix of salty (olives), sweet (semi-dried tomatoes), creamy (Brie), and tangy (goat cheese).
- Texture: Alternate sliced meats with whole pieces and fold for height.
- Timing: Prep the board up to 1 hour ahead; keep chilled and add crackers just before serving.
