Mini Caprese Salad Skewers
Ingredients:
- One basket of grape tomatoes
- One 12 ounce package of fresh mozzarella
- One large bunch of fresh basil
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground pepper (I used a mix of black, pink, green, and white, but black pepper is fine)
- Extravagonzo Red Chili Culinary Oil or Extravagonzo Roasted Garlic Culinary Oil
Instructions:
- Cut some of the cheese into 1/2 inch squares.
- Cut stems off some of the basil and cut the spine out of the leaves.
- Working one skewer at a time, cut a tomato in half, tear off and fold a piece of basil and place it against the cut side of the tomato, place a piece of cheese on top of the basil to sandwich between the cheese and the tomato.
- Skewer with a toothpick and set aside on a serving dish.
- Continue until you run out of tomatoes.
- Lightly drizzle the skewers with Extravagonzo Red Chili Culinary Oil or Extravagonzo Roasted Garlic Culinary Oil, sprinkle the skewers with the salt and freshly ground pepper.
These can be prepared a few hours in advance and refrigerated, or they can be served immediately.
