Ingredients:
- 1 pint (300g) cherry tomatoes
- 8 oz (225g) mini mozzarella balls (bocconcini)
- 12 large fresh basil leaves
- 1 tbsp (15ml) extra virgin olive oil
- ½ tsp (3g) flaky sea salt
- ¼ tsp (1g) freshly cracked black pepper
- ½ cup (120ml) balsamic vinegar
- 1 tbsp (15g) honey
Instructions:
- Combine the balsamic vinegar and honey in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Simmer gently, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has reduced by half and reaches a syrupy consistency. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
- Lay out basil leaves, tomatoes, and mozzarella in separate piles. Thread one cherry tomato, one folded basil leaf, and one mozzarella ball onto each bamboo skewer, pushing ingredients firmly together.
- Place the assembled skewers on a serving platter. Lightly brush or toss them with olive oil, then sprinkle with sea salt and black pepper.
- Just before serving, drizzle the cooled balsamic reduction in a zig-zag motion across the top of the skewers.
