Italian Sausage Caprese Skewer Recipes

Steps:

• Wrap each mozzarella ball with a basil leaf.
• Thread a tomato half, a basil-wrapped mozzarella ball, and another tomato half onto a skewer. Repeat until all tomatoes are on skewers. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Toss tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, olive oil, basil, salt, and pepper together in a bowl until well coated. Skewer one tomato and one piece of mozzarella cheese on each toothpick.

Steps:

• Cook the sausage according to the package directions for the grill or in a skillet.
• Cut each sausage into 4 to 5 pieces.
• Assemble each skewer alternating ingredients: tomato, basil, mozzarella, and sausage.
• Arrange skewers on a platter, drizzle with Extra Virgin olive oil and balsamic syrup.
• Sprinkle with salt and a grinding of fresh black pepper.

Steps:

• Cook the sausage according to the directions on the package and cut it into 1-inch rounds. Cut the basil leaves lengthwise into thirds.
• Put an olive half about 1/3 of the way down onto a skewer. Then add 1 strip of basil, folding so it fits nicely on the skewer. Follow with 1 grape tomato and a round of sausage. Position everything on the end of the skewer so the skewer can stand up on its sausage end.

Steps:

• Put sausages in a plate going in the microwave and poke them. Cover with plastic wrap leaving an open corner to let escape the steam and cook at high power for about 5 minutes or until not pink inside. (you can do this step in advance, let cool and cover. They will be good until the next day in the fridge.). Cut in slices of 1 1/2 inches of thickness.
• Meanwhile, in a bowl, mix oil, garlic, salt and pepper. On metal skewers or wood skewers previously soaked in water, thread sausages alternating with bread cubes and onions squares. Baste the skewers with the mixture of oil.
• Set the barbecue to medium heat. Put the skewers on an oil grill. Close the cover and cook about 10 minutes or until sausages are grilled and onions are tender (flip the skewers 3 times during the cooking time).
