List of Ingredients
1 red bell pepper
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tbsp. lemon juice
2 tbsp. olive oil
1/2 tsp. kosher salt
1 tsp. ground black pepper
1 pound fresh mozzarella, cut into 20 1-inch pieces
1 bunch basil, finely chopped
20 cherry tomatoes, cut in half
20 basil leaves Recipe
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Rub the red bell pepper with a little vegetable oil and roast on a baking sheet for about 20 minutes, until the skin is browned. Place in a container with a tight fitting lid and let sit for 20 minutes. Remove from container and reserve until cool enough to handle. Peel the skin and cut in half. Scrape away the seeds and cut into a very fine dice.
Combine pepper, garlic, lemon juice, oil, salt and pepper in a stainless steel mixing bowl. Add the mozzarella pieces and toss to coat well. Cover and marinate at room temperature at least 30 minutes. Sprinkle basil over mozzarella and toss to coat. Thread one cherry tomato half and 1 pieces mozzarella onto each skewer. Wrap each remaining cherry tomato half in 1 basil leaf and add to each skewer. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
