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'm not a big fan of tomatoes, but I still enjoyed these skewers. The prosciutto and mozzarella were so flavorful that they made up for the tomatoes.

These skewers are a great way to use up leftover grilled chicken or steak. Just chop up the meat and add it to the skewers.

I substituted feta cheese for the mozzarella and they were still delicious. I also added some grilled zucchini to the skewers for a pop of color and extra flavor.
