Had this for my lunch today, mmmm, very yummy. The lunch is from Meal Plan 9, based around tuna, ham and cheese
What do I need make this deli platter
- serves 2 – priced at Aldi.co.uk July 2024
- 130g cheese – any cheese that you like. I used mature cheddar
- 200g potatoes
- 40g ham – the wafer thin kind if you are following the meal plan
- 60g olives – the plan uses black olives from a jar
How do I make a deli platter
Slice up the potatoes, no need to peel, and put on a baking sheet. Drizzle over a little oil, you won’t need much, just a tsp, or possibly two. Bake in a hot oven for about half an hour, or until the wedges are cooked through and golden. You could shorten the oven step by softening them in the microwave for 5 minutes first.
Once the wedges are cooked through, get arty with your ingredients. Arrange them a la gastro pub on a slate (I’ve used one of my slate table mats) a wooden platter, on little dishes etc. it tastes nicer that way you know.
Many things can be used in a meal like this.
- Some nice bread, a toasted pitta or nan, cut into slices, a few bread sticks,
- a little dish of any flavour hoummous,
- some sliced peppers from a jar,
- some sun blush tomatoes,
- a couple of taste bomb tomatoes,
- an artichoke heart or two,
- a few slices of any cold meat (salami, pepperoni, that kind of thing).
- You could add a few carrot batons,
- some warm broad beans if you have any in the garden would be lovely,
- a whole roasted beetroot,
- some caramelised onions. The world is your oyster really.

That’s a very good tip Gabriella!
I worry about the cost of running the oven! I make my potatoes by cutting them into wedges, putting them in the microwave for 8 mins then letting them cool on a board or tray. When cool/cold they can be salted and oiled in a plastic bag (this gets an even coating using a minimal amount of oil). When ready to eat the can be heated in a frying pan or grilled until crispy like chips, this only takes about 2 mins on each of the 3 sides so works out a lot less expensive and also means that they can be prepared in advance.
