Markets have a feast of ready-made foods that are ideal for an antipasto platter.
Try a few of these along with the Dukka: marinated mushrooms or artichokes; cheeses, such as feta, buffalo mozzarella or creamy goat cheese; oil-cured black olives or green olives stuffed with pimientos or almonds; oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes; sourdough bread (or other loaves flavoured with olives, oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes or cheese).
