Friday afternoon drinks, friends or family over, date night; there is always a good reason to conjure up a drinks board on the table. Usually, drinks boards, or the well-known \u2018charcuterie\u2019 contain huge amounts of ham hocks, sausages and dairy. Nina's vegan Italian drinks board shows that this is absolutely unnecessary.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Vegan Italian drinks board: vegan cheese tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Since cheese is among my biggest guilty pleasure <\/em>belongs, it is a challenge for me to completely eliminate it from my plant-based diet. In my search for the perfect vegan cheese, I asked the founders of Vegaliano<\/a> meet; an online shop with the best selection of Italian products, but 100% vegan. As an Italian, you know better than anyone how vegan Parmesan cheese or mozzarella should really taste, and Vegaliano is totally entrusted with that. The vegan cheeses I used on my vegan Italian drinks board really amazed my guests and me. The texture and flavour are amazingly good. It even has the ability to melt. What more could you want?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vegan Italian drinks board with arancini<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A typical Italian dish is arancini. Arancini are - originally Sicilian - deep-fried rice balls with a coating of breadcrumbs. In short: a bitterball, but made of risotto. And, of course, we Dutch like bitterballen! For the arancini on this vegan Italian cocktail plate, I made my own risotto, but you can also very easily make arancini from your own leftover risotto. The arancini on this drinks board includes risotto with various mushrooms and vegan Parmesan cheese from Vegaliano<\/a>. The Gran Murgiano has the capacity to melt and let that be just perfect for arancini.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Toppings on vegan drinks board<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Besides the arancini, this vegan drinks board includes many more delectable toppings, namely: caprese from mezzerella<\/a> with colourful tomatoes and basil, crostinis, loaded hummus with vegan rocket pesto<\/a> and fried vine tomatoes, bruschetta with tomato salsa, vegan tapenade, olives, sundried tomatoes, marinated artichoke hearts, grilled sweet pointed pepper, fresh figs and red grapes. These are my favourite toppings anyway, but of course there are many more ingredients you can add. Above all, I hope that with this Mediterranean plant platter I offer you lots of inspiration for a vegan drinks board to leave an incredible impression on you and your company!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
