03 — Method
- Lift the mozzarella out of its brine and drain on paper towels for 10 minutes so the skewers aren't watery.
- Wash the 400 g (2⅔ cups) red and yellow cherry tomatoes under cold water and pat dry.
- Pick the tender leaves from the large bunch of basil.
- Drain and pit the 100 g (⅔ cup) Kalamata olives. Cut the prosciutto (optional) into thin strips.
- Make the dressing in the small bowl: extra-virgin olive oil, balsamic glaze, dried oregano, salt and pepper. Whisk hard to emulsify.
- Assemble the 24 skewers, threading on each: 1 red cherry tomato, 1 basil leaf, 1 mozzarella ball, 1 olive, 1 yellow cherry tomato, 1 basil leaf.
- For the prosciutto version (optional): tuck a folded piece of prosciutto between the ingredients.
- Arrange the 24 skewers on the large platter. Drizzle generously with the balsamic dressing and scatter with the remaining basil. Serve RIGHT AWAY at room temperature.
