When we grill for ourselves or have company over this is one of the BBQ sides we always consider having. Everyone who has had these love them. The salt of the prosciutto mixing with the mozza and the sweetness of the grape tomatoes just go together. Try them and let us know what you think. Feel free to put more on the skewers if you want, we often slide in some red peppers or pineapple depending on whats at hand......the sky is the limit I guess. Enjoy. J & D. (We have listed enough to make 4 Skewers, just add more ingredients for more people as you require.) Ingredients:
100 g mozzarella cheese, cheese (cubed into 1-inch squares) |
20 grape tomatoes |
6 slices prosciutto, ham (thin slices) |
4 wooden skewers |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
1 teaspoon cracked black pepper |
Directions:
1. Soak your four wooden skewers in cold water for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
2. Cut the 100g of Mozzarella cheese into 1 squares.This will give you about 12 squares.
3. Depending on the type of prosciutto you have you should be able to wrap each square with half a slice of the prosciutto.
4. Alternate the grape tomatoes and prosciutto wrapped mozzarella on the skewers. Brush each skewer with the oil and season with a little fresh ground black pepper.
5. We cook them on the BBQ over medium heat on the top rack turning once for about 10 minutes. Use a strip of aluminum foil to protect the exposed part of the skewer while cooking, it makes them real easy to handle. During our cold Canadian winter we have also made these in the oven, roasting them at 350F for about 10 minutes.
