Tomato Mozzarella Kebabs
These are excellent for a vegetarian barbecue. Serve the kebabs with plenty of hot, crusty garlic bread and salad.
Ingredients
100 g/4 oz dried rotelle (pinwheels)
Dash of olive oil, plus 60 ml/4 tablspoons
2 cloves of garlic, crushed
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
8-12 cherry tomatoes
225 g/8 oz mozzarella cheese, cut into 2.5 cm/1 inch cubes
Details
Serves: 4
Method
Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil and add the rotelle with a dash of olive oil. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender. Drain and rinse under cold running water. Drain again and set aside.
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic and salt and freshly ground black pepper. Set aside.
To make the kebabs, place one rotelle, a tomato, then a cube of mozzarella cheese on to kebab skewers until all the ingredients have been used. Arrange the skewers on a baking sheet and brush liberally with the garlic olive oil mixture, turning the kebabs to coat evenly.
Place the kebabs under a preheated grill for 5-7 minutes, turning the skewers halfway through cooking, until browned. Serve immediately.
TIP:
If using wooden skewers, soak them for at least one hour in water before threading on the kebab ingredients. This will help prevent them from burning during grilling.
