  • 20 small rosemary stalks
  • 20 (about 300g pack) bocconcini (mini mozzarella balls)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp pesto
  • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 2 courgettes
    small
  • 20 cherry tomatoes
  • 20 black olives
    pitted

    Method

    • step 1

      Strip the leaves from the bottom 2/3 of the rosemary stalks (use the leaves in other recipes). The stalks are now ready to use as a skewer.

    • step 2

      Toss the mozzarella with the olive oil, pesto and balsamic vinegar. Season and leave to marinate for at least 30 minutes.

    • step 3

      Trim the ends off the courgettes and peel into long strips using a vegetable peeler. Wrap a piece of courgette around each of the mozzarella balls and thread onto the rosemary stalk along with a cherry tomato and an olive. Brush any remaining marinade over the courgettes. Chill until you’re ready to cook them.

    • step 4

      Heat a griddle pan and sear the skewers for a minute or so each side so that the cheese begins to soften, but doesn’t melt. Serve with a sprinkle of flaked sea salt and black pepper.
