Ingredients:
12 bamboo skewers |
24 cherry tomatoes |
24 basil leaves |
12 ounces salami, cut into 1-inch cubes |
12 ounces smoked mozzarella, cut into 1-inch cubes |
olive oil |
freshly cracked black pepper |
Directions:
1. Soak skewers in water for 30 minutes. Preheat grill or broiler on low heat.
2. Wrap each tomato with a basil leaf.
3. On each skewer, thread a cube of salami, a cube of mozzarella and a basil-wrapped cherry tomato. Repeat with additional salami, mozzarella, and tomato.
4. Place the skewers on a baking sheet. Broil 4 to 5 inches from heat about 1 minute or until just warm. (If grilling, place them on the grill over low heat, or as the coals are burning down, for 1 to 2 minutes, turning once.) Watch skewers carefully so that the cheese softens a little but does not melt.
5. Arrange skewers on a serving platter. Drizzle with oil and sprinkle with cracked pepper. Serve warm.
