At our ongoing housewarming party (facilitated in a joint effort with the fine people at Dr. Oetker Virtuoso Pizza), I needed to make several extraordinary gathering canapés to serve our visitors. These appetizer sticks were a significant hit! I stacked them up with mozzarella, simmered peppers, salami and olives, however you can change them to suit your own taste.
Without a doubt I made a point to make myself a couple without meat, being the veggie lover that I am! Play with various types of meats and olives, swap out the mozzarella for burrata. The conceivable outcomes and flavor mixes are perpetual! Balancing the menu? These zucchini veggie balls and a flavorful mixed drink I like to call pumpkin brew spiked juice.
- 24 mini fresh mozzarella balls
- 24 olives
- 12 slices of salami, cut in half
- 24 small basil leaves
- 2 roasted peppers (or 1 jar)
- 1 jar artichoke hearts
- ½ pound fresh tortellini, cooked
- Bamboo skewers
Instructions
- Using 3″ bamboo skewers or similar, layer your ingredients starting with the mozzarella balls, then the roasted peppers (I used a mix of red, yellow and orange), tortellini, basil, artichoke heart, salami and olives.
- I opted to pick up mozzarella and olives that were already marinated and seasoned, but I would suggest tossing yours in a bit of olive oil with a pinch of Italian seasoning if you can’t find those that are already pre-seasoned.
- I also roasted my own peppers, but you can easily pick up a jar to make things simpler.
- Line a tray with your finished skewers and refrigerate until serving.
- Make them the night or the morning before and keep chilled. (Leftovers will keep for a few days!)
- Plan for 2 - 3 per person.
