ANTIPASTO SKEWERS

These colorful skewers are the perfect outdoor appetizer for a crowd: They can be assembled ahead of time and grilled right before serving. Don't skimp on the lemon-it adds something special.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 lemon wedges, halved crosswise, plus more for serving
24 pieces thin-sliced hard salami
12 large fresh basil leaves
Twelve 1-inch cubes of aged provolone or 1-inch balls of bocconcini
One 8-ounce jar whole roasted red peppers, cut into 1-by-3-inch strips
6 whole marinated artichokes, halved, marinade reserved
12 large pitted Cerignola olives or other large green olives
Olive oil, for oiling the grill grates and drizzling the bread
One 1-pound loaf ciabatta, sliced into 1-inch-thick pieces
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Prepare a grill for medium-high heat. Push 1 lemon piece to the bottom of a skewer. Lay 2 slices of salami on top of each other, fold in half, then push onto the skewer snugly against the lemon. Wrap a basil leaf around a piece of the cheese, and push them onto the skewer, catching both sides of the leaf if possible. Fold a red pepper strip in half, and add it to the skewer, followed by an artichoke piece and an olive. Repeat from salami to olive twice on the skewer, and top with a lemon piece. Repeat with the remaining skewers. Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet.
  • Lightly oil the grill grates. Brush the skewered food with the marinade from the artichoke. Lightly drizzle the bread with oil, and season with salt and black pepper. Grill the bread on both sides until browned and crisp, about 3 minutes total; transfer to a serving tray.
  • Grill the skewers until grill marks appear and the edges of the artichoke pieces are beginning to brown, about 1 minute per side. If the cheese sticks to the grill, use a metal spatula to loosen. Serve the skewers with the grilled bread, and squeeze with lemon before serving.

I took this to a work luncheon and it disappeared in minutes. This is a great idea for buffet situations, since it is served individually and is easily eaten, even while juggling a plate. You could also add fresh basil leaves and drizzle the entire plate with Balsamic vinegar.
