Ingredients for Antipasticks

  • Wooden Skewer
  • Grape Tomatoes
  • Bocconcini
  • Fresh Basil Leaves
  • Olive Oil
  • Salt And Pepper

How to Make Antipasticks

  1. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium heat.
  2. Thread cherry tomatoes, fresh basil leaves, and small mozzarella balls onto skewers. (Tip: leave a little space between each ingredient for even cooking)
  3. Lightly drizzle the skewers with olive oil (about 1 tablespoon per 4 skewers).
  4. Season generously with salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
  5. Grill for 3-5 minutes per side, or until the cheese is slightly melted and the tomatoes are softened. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
  6. Remove from grill and serve immediately. Garnish with extra basil if desired.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
