At a properly socially distanced driveway party last week a friend had made some delicious skewers with tomatoes, Mozzarella, basil and balsamic vinegar. They were so good we had to replicate them and have them all to ourselves.
Ingredients
6 Cherry tomatoes, halved
12 Small Mozzarella balls (Bocconcini) halved
12 Basil leaves torn in half
a few lettuce leaves, torn
Balsamic vinegar (not measured - just for drizzling)
High quality Extra Virgin Olive Oil (not measured - just for drizzling)
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
Large crystal sea salt or salt flakes (e.g. Maldon)
Method
On a small wooden cocktail skewer thread (in order) 1/2 of a bocconcini, 1/2 of a basil leaf, half of a cherry tomato, the other half of the same basil leaf, the other half of the bocconcini. Repeat for the other 11 skewers.
On a plate lay out the torn lettuce leaves. Place the skewers artistically over the plate. Drizzle the balsamic vinegar and olive oil, grind pepper over the dish and sprinkle with the coarse salt.
