Antipasto Summer Lettuce Wraps Recipes

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, mix together the mozzarella, salami, cherry tomatoes, artichokes, roasted red pepper and pepperoncini. Toss the salad mixture with the Red Wine Vinaigrette. Season with salt and pepper. Let this marinate for 30 minutes before serving. Serve the lettuce cups alongside the antipasto salad. Be sure to use a slotted spoon when serving to drain off any excess marinade, so the lettuce doesn't get soggy.
• In a small mixing bowl, whisk together vinegar, honey and mustard. Once combined, slowly add olive oil in steady stream while whisking. Season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Combine the salami, soppressata, mozzarella, provolone, artichokes, tomatoes, olives, peppers, vinegar and 1/4 cup artichoke marinade in a bowl.
• Divide among the lettuce cups. Sprinkle with basil.

Steps:

• On a microwave proof plate, layer 2 slices ham, 1 slice cheese, 2 slices roast pork, 1 pickle slice and 1 more slice of cheese. Heat in the microwave for about 30 seconds--just long enough to melt the cheese. Spread 1/2 teaspoon mustard on the inside of a lettuce leaf, top with the layered meat and cheese, and roll it up. Secure with a toothpicks. Repeat to make 4 total.
• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Score the fat and skin on the pork shoulder in a hatch mark fashion. Place the shoulder in a roasting pan lined with a rack, and pour the dressing over it. Rub the shoulder with the remaining ingredients and roast uncovered for 1 hour. Tent the shoulder loosely with aluminum foil and continue roasting while basting occasionally, until the meat starts to easily pull apart from the bone, about 1 1/2 hours more. Transfer the shoulder to a cutting board and let rest for 15 minutes. Trim off any excess fat and cut into thin slices.
