Entertain In Style This Australia Day With Our Great Aussie Grazing Platters!
So the snags, chops and steaks are ready to cook, and it's time to fire up your BBQ, keep everyone happy and socialising around your outdoor BBQ kitchen with our Great Aussie Grazing Inspo!
Grab yourself some boards, platters, assorted bowls and cheese knives and check out our Australia Day Platters!
When you start planning your grazing board, think about taste, texture, colour, and the balance between sweet and savoury products.
We've included a variety of cured meats and an assortment of cheeses, dips, crackers, chips and veggies to dip.
So this is where we start then we build around them.
Place small bowls around them for olives, pickles, dips, and anything with a liquid base.
Crackers and bread often come next, and you can not have an Aussie platter without Savoys and Ritz Crackers!
Fresh and dried fruits and vegetables; strawberries, blackberries, kiwifruit, mini capsicums, trussed tomatoes, mini cucumbers, and heirloom carrots are great for colour, freshness and texture.
