When it comes to entertaining during the festive season, you can't go wrong with a platter. There’s very little cooking involved (so you can spend more time with your guests). You can make everything ahead, your guests are spoiled with an assortment of nibbles and, best of all, food for sharing always brings people together. Using Woolworths' beef biltong, this platter can be served as a starter while everyone waits for the mains. Or get the party started and let guests mingle, sip and snack without having to be seated in one place. Here's what to add to your board:

Biltong-and-cheese straws

These flaky, crispy puff pastry cheese twists are just as appetising as they look. If you’re looking for a no-stress, finger food recipe for your next get-together, this is the one! Plus, it's a step up from opening a packet of sliced biltong. This is an appetiser that's guaranteed to be a crowd favourite.

Biltong goat's cheese balls

There's more to biltong powder than retro lunchbox sarmies. These goat's cheese balls are a fantastic addition to this savoury platter and can be spread on crunchy crackers or crostini due to their soft, creamy texture.

Biltong-and-sundried tomato tartlets

These small tarts are the definition of the perfect bite. The flaky pastry is the perfect vessel for the tangy labneh, sweet sundried tomatoes and salty biltong. There's barely any prep involved and they're so easy that the kids can help you assemble them before the guests arrive.
