Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 10 slices Deli meat (e.g., salami, turkey, or roast beef)
  • 2 ounces Cheese (e.g., cream cheese or cheddar) spreadable
  • Olives or pickles for garnish
  • Fresh herbs (e.g., parsley or basil) optional for decoration
  • Crackers or breadsticks to accompany the roses

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start with your slice of deli meat. Lay one slice on a clean surface or a board.
  2. Take another slice and angle it slightly over the first. Continue layering overlapping slices of meat until you feel you have enough to create a rose.
  3. Start from one edge and gently roll the layered meat towards the center, almost like you are rolling sushi.
  4. Once rolled, hold it tightly for a moment to ensure it keeps its shape. You can use a toothpick or small skewer to secure the tail end if necessary.
  5. Spread some cheese at the bottom or use it to bind the meat together for a cohesive look.
  6. Place your charcuterie roses on a platter and surround them with olives, pickles, and your choice of crackers or breadsticks. Add fresh herbs for an extra touch of elegance!

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. Reassemble for best presentation.
