Ingredients

1 pound fresh water-packed mozzarella, drained, cut into ¼-inch slices

6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided

2 garlic cloves, peeled, minced or crushed

1/4 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper flakes, or more to taste

1 long strip of fresh orange or lemon peel

1 tablespoon minced fresh oregano

1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

2 tablespoons capers, drained well, chopped

Artichoke hearts, canned, drained well

salami

imported cured olives for garnish

Directions

Overlap the cheese slices on a serving platter.

In a small saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil over medium heat.

Add the garlic, lemon strip and crushed red pepper.

Stir just until the garlic begins to color, about 2 minutes.

Remove from the heat; stir in the oregano, salt and pepper. Cool completely.

Stir in the capers and the remaining 4 tablespoons of olive oil. Drizzle the mixture over the cheese slices and garnish them with artichoke hearts, salami and olives.

Can be made ahead and refrigerated covered tightly with plastic wrap.

Remove from refrigerator at least 1/2 hour before service.
