Method

  1. Slice the ham1 and smoked2 chicken breast thinly.

  2. Cut the cornichons in half lengthwise and drain the olives5 from the brine.

  3. Arrange the meats in a fan or in rows on a flat plate.

  4. Add the cornichons, olives5, and a small portion of mustard in a sauce dish.

  5. Garnish with parsley6 and keep refrigerated until serving.

Tips

Why it works
Slice the meat thin so it soaks up the mustard and stays moist. Cut the gherkins lengthwise so they hold together and look neat.
Substitutions
Replace the ham with Gouda (80 g) or Doktorskaya sausage (70 g). Use pickled capers (25 g) instead of olives.
Common mistakes
If the gherkins or olives are too wet, the appetizer turns soggy. Pat them dry with a paper towel first.
Storing and reheating
Keep in the fridge for 2 days. Stir before serving so the mustard spreads evenly.
Serve with
Serve with crusty baguette or thin slices of rye bread on a festive table.
