Summer has finally arrived! I love summertime. Warm weather, splashing in the pool, fresh fruit and vegetables from the farm and garden. We get to eat outside and dinner comes hot off the grill most evenings. I am always trying to find new creative side dishes that can either be prepared ahead of time or grilled. These skewers turned out great. If you never had grilled grape tomatoes you must try it, they get so juicy and sweet. It's fantastic!
This recipe will make enough for four skewers and you can easily change quantities.
For 4 Metal Skewers:
1 demi baguette or sourdough bread
24 grape tomatoes, rinsed
24 small basil leaves
3 Tbsp. olive oil
garlic salt to taste
You will only need about half of the demi baguette. Cut the bread into 24 cubes about the size of the tomatoes. Start skewering the tomatoes, basil leaves and bread, alternating until you have 6 of each on a skewer.
Brush generously with olive oil and season with garlic salt to your taste.
Grill them over medium high heat, turning them often so they won't burn, about 4 minutes all together.
***Tip***
If your basil leaves are bigger than the tomatoes, just cut them in half. You want them to be the size of the bread and the tomato so they don't get charred.
