3/4 cup olive oil
4 cloves garlic, pressed
1 tsp dried basil
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper
1/2 tsp salt
4 cloves garlic, pressed
1 tsp dried basil
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper
1/2 tsp salt
1 pkg fresh basil leaves
8 oz grape tomatoes
balsamic glaze
In a bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic, basil, oregano, red pepper, and salt. Separate the mozzarella pearls and add to the oil mixture. Allow to marinate in the fridge for several hours.
To assemble skewers, place mozzarella balls, fresh basil leaves, and tomatoes on each skewer as desired. Cut basil leaves in half if they are too large. For smaller pearls, I prefer 2 mozzarella pearls, 1 basil leaf, 1 tomato, 1 basil leaf, and 2 more mozzarella pearls.
Before serving, drizzle balsamic glaze over the skewers.
