These little nuggets of deliciousness came out of an old “Women’s
entertaining” cookbook, and they really are quite awesome. And easy, which
makes them even better.
They look naughty and a little bit fancy but only take a
couple of minutes to throw together, and can be as simple or complex as you
like.
I opted for simple, as I was putting on a bit of a feast and
just ran out of time to marinate the cheese, but if you have an hour spare to
let it marinate, definitely give it a whirl.
This makes 6 short skewers (similar to the picture)
Ingredients:
9 cherry tomatoes, halved
4 boccincini balls, quartered
About 30 basil leaves
3 long wooden skewers, cut in half (could also use toothpicks and just make
shorter versions of these)
For the marinade
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh diced chives
1 tablespoon fresh diced parsley
A good crack of black pepper
Once the cheese is cut, coat them in the marinade for about
an hour before putting on the skewers
Just thread everything onto the skewers in the order of tomato-basil-cheese-basil-tomato,
and voila! They’re done.
So easy and really delicious.
