For a fabulous couldn't-be-easier starter, do an Italian job and simply buy in some deli-delicious goodies, as Jo Pratt suggests

Italian antipasti plate

Method

For the easiest starter in the world, take a trip to the deli counter in the supermarket or, if you are lucky enough to have a good deli nearby then go there. Buy a selection of great antipasti and arrange them on a large plate for everyone to help themselves to.

Serve with lots of fresh bread with some good-quality fruity extra-virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar to dip into.

Above are a few suggestions of what to choose.

I agree - my local deli is in Beatrice Street in Swindon and I would thoroughly recommend the wonderfully tasty homemade chargrilled peppers and aubergines they sell...

Prep: 5 min

Ingredients
marinated olives
sun-dried or sun-blushed tomatoes, in oil
chargrilled artichokes, peppers, courgettes, mushrooms and onions
marinated anchovies
cured hams, i.e. Parma, proscuitto
salamis and spicy sausages
Parmesan or pecorino cheese
