SMaria Russo invites us on a culinary journey with his delightful Caprese Skewers, a dish that embodies the essence of Southern Italy. 
The combination of creamy buffalo mozzarella and crusty bread, kissed with the subtle aroma of oregano, creates an irresistible symphony of flavours and textures. 
Ideal for a sun-drenched summer gathering or an elegant evening aperitif, these skewers promise to captivate your senses and transport you straight to the idyllic landscapes of Sicily.

👨‍🍳 Preparation

  1. 1

    Cut the crusty bread and buffalo mozzarella into equal-sized squares. Remove the tougher outer layer of the bread slices if necessary.

  2. 2

    Thread the skewers alternately with a bread slice and a piece of mozzarella, sprinkling each layer with salt and dried oregano.

  3. 3

    Grill the skewers on a barbecue, in the oven, or on a grill until they turn golden and the mozzarella becomes stringy.

  4. 4

    Remove the skewers and serve the warm and stringy bread slices with buffalo mozzarella.

💡 Tips and Variations

For a twist, add cherry tomatoes or fresh basil leaves to the skewers. You can also drizzle with balsamic glaze for extra flavour.

📦 Storage

  • • Refrigerate the skewers in an airtight container or wrap with plastic wrap for up to 2-3 days.
  • • Avoid freezing as it may alter the texture of the mozzarella.
  • • Reheat in the oven at a low temperature or in the microwave, keeping in mind the mozzarella may lose some of its stringy texture.

🍷 Pairing

Pair these Caprese Skewers with a glass of Sambuca di Sicilia Rosso Riserva. The wine's deep ruby hue and intense aroma complement the creamy mozzarella, creating a harmonious balance.
