Chef Millie's Charcuterie Tips:
•When plating a charcuterie board, you want to plate the star of the show in the middle—that’s our catfish nuggets!—because we want people to eat it while it's hot. You probably won't have to worry about re-heating anything because McCormick seasonings add so much flavor, everything will be devoured before any reheating is necessary.
•You can turn any soul food staple into a small bite perfect for a charcuterie board - whether it's collard greens you turn into spring rolls, mac-n-cheese into fried gooey nuggets of goodness, or banana pudding made into individual pie bites.
•Adding ready-made sauces to the board for dipping allows guests to create their own unique combos in every bite. Mini ramekins with an assortment of condiments like Stubb's® Bar-B-Q Sauce, Zatarain's® Creole Mustard, or even French's® Mustard can really jazz up the board.
