Maguire’s Homemade Antipasto

Crush (or shave with a garlic shaver/grater rather than a press) 4 cloves of garlic and mix with olive oil, vinegar (I used red wine and balsamic vinegars), basil, oregano, pepper, & rosemary. Chop in pepperoni, mild white cheese (I used mozzarella and havarti). Add olives, quartered, artichoke hearts, and just about anything else you could want... I let it steep in the fridge for 2 days and gave it an occasional shake. The only thing with much carbs are the artichoke hearts, but you only eat 2-3 pieces of artichoke (1/2-3/4 of a heart) per serving because it is so pungent and filling. YUM!
