Valentine's Caprese skewers
Ingredients (for 6 skewers)
Preparation time: 20 minutes
- 12 cherry tomatoes
- 3 snack cucumbers
- 6 small mozzarella balls
- 24 basil leaves
- 1.5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp Natural Spices Pizza Perfect herbs
Preparation
- Cut the tomatoes diagonally, twist one half and press them back together so a heart shape is formed. Cut the tips off the cucumbers diagonally, about the same size as the cherry tomatoes, turn a quarter turn so the cut surface is on your cutting board and then halve the tip lengthwise, turn the two pieces outwards and when you press them together a heart shape will also be created.
- Halve the mozzarella balls.
- Thread the tomato hearts and cucumber onto skewers. Start with half a mozzarella ball, then a basil leaf, a tomato heart, another mozzarella ball, basil, cucumber, basil, mozzarella, tomato, mozzarella and finish with basil. Repeat this for the other 5 skewers.
- Stir the oil and Pizza Perfect herbs together and brush the skewers with the mixture. Optionally sprinkle a little extra pepper and salt over them.
Tip:
Dip the skewers in (homemade) green pesto.
Put the remaining middle pieces of the cucumber in a sealed container/bag in the fridge and use them for, for example, a salad.
