Zaatar Salami, Fig & Honey Canapés
A show-stopping canapé that’s as simple as it is elegant. Herby warmth of our Zaatar Salami with creamy cheese, sweet figs and a drizzle of golden honey. Gently warmed in the air fryer for just 30 seconds, the salami crisps at the edges while the cheese softens.
Ingredients (makes 8–10 canapés)
8–10 slices of Zaatar Salami (1 pack)
50g soft cheese (goat’s cheese, ricotta or burrata all work beautifully)
2–3 fresh figs, sliced into thin wedges
A drizzle of runny honey or fig jam
Fresh thyme leaves or micro herbs, to garnish
Fresh washed vine leaves to serve (optional)
Method
Lay out the base:
Place slices of Zaatar Salami flat in your air fryer basket or on a parchment-lined tray.
Add the topping:
Spoon a small amount of soft cheese into the centre of each slice, then top with a fig wedge.
Air fry:
Cook at 180°C (350°F) for about 30 seconds to 1 minute — just until the salami edges start to crisp and the cheese softens.
Finish & serve:
Transfer to a serving board and onto fresh vine leaves (optional), drizzle with honey or a dab of fig jam and finish with a sprig of thyme or micro herbs. Serve immediately while warm.
Serving Tip
These canapés make a beautiful addition to a charcuterie platter, wedding grazing table, or festive appetiser spread.
