How to Make Antipasto

  1. Chop 1 green bell pepper and julienne 1 cup of carrots.
  2. Finely chop 1/2 cup ripe olives, 1/2 cup green olives, 1/4 cup pickled onions, 2 tbsp pimento, and 1/4 cup sweet pickle relish. Set aside.
  3. Break 1 medium head of cauliflower into bite-sized florets.
  4. Heat 2 oz (approximately 1/4 cup) olive oil in a large frying pan. Add 2 cloves minced garlic and the cauliflower. Sauté until tender-crisp, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
  5. In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the remaining 6 oz (approximately 3/4 cup) olive oil. Add 3 minced garlic cloves and sauté until fragrant (about 30 seconds).
  6. Stir in 1/2 cup ketchup, 1/2 cup dry red wine, 2 tbsp tomato paste, and 1 tsp dried oregano.
  7. Add the chopped green pepper, carrots, olives, pickled onions, pimento, sweet pickle relish, cauliflower, 1 (14 oz) can artichoke hearts (drained), and 1 cup sliced mushrooms.
  8. Simmer for 10 minutes, stirring frequently, until vegetables are tender but still hold their shape.
  9. Add 2 oz (1/4 cup) drained oil-packed anchovy fillets and 1 (5 oz) can tuna (drained). Bring to a gentle boil, stirring constantly to prevent sticking. Cook for 2-3 minutes.
  10. Serve immediately or cool completely. Refrigerate for up to 2 weeks in an airtight container. For longer storage, freeze in airtight containers or immediately can in hot, sterilized jars.
