European cold cuts like salami and chorizo are among our favorites!
At home, we enjoy European cold cuts such as Italian salami and Spanish chorizo. I buy these cold cuts at the deli and choose those that come cut in small round cuts. Or ask the attendant at the deli to slice those not too thick and not too thin.
The salami has a hint of black pepper and the chorizo has a smokey and spicy tasty flavor. Both can be eaten as part of a cheese board but go great on pizza and flatbreads.
Make pizza flatbreads at home!
It is is very easy to prepare the European cold cuts pizza flatbreads. I am using Indian naan bread, pizza sauce, oregano, black pepper, Manchego and fontina cheeses, and my family’s favorite cold cuts: salami and Spanish chorizo.
The pizza sauce I chose is gourmet with quality ingredients. I recommend finding one that you enjoy as the pizza sauce is the foundation of a good pizza.
The same situation with the cheese, I am using a Manchego cheese for the chorizo pizza and fontina cheese for the salami flatbread. I like this cheese because it is made with sheep’s milk and has a sharp taste without overwhelming the palate and pairing well with the European cold cuts.

Add to the bar a selection of fresh salads to pair with the European cold cuts pizza flatbreads. Offer wine, beer, agua fresca, and sodas too. I bet everyone will enjoy making their creations while making memories together.
