Tomato, Watermelon and Basil Skewers
Provided by:
Giada De Laurentiis
Ingredients:
- 1/4 Cup Balsamic Vinegar
- 1 (4-5 Pound), cut into 1.5 inch cubes Watermelon
- 32 Small Basil Leaves
- 16 Cherry Tomatoes (Halved)
- 2 Tablespoons Extra-Virgin Olive Oil
- 1 Pinch Kosher Salt
- 16 Skewers
- 1/4 Cup Sugar
Directions:
Combine the balsamic vinegar and sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is dissolved. Turn off the heat and set aside to cool.
Starting with the watermelon cubes, push the watermelon to the very tips of the skewer. Then skewer a basil leaf, then a tomato half. Continue with another watermelon, basil leaf, and a tomato half. Place the skewer on a serving platter so it stands upright, using the lowest watermelon cubs as a base. Continue with the remaining skewers.
Drizzle the skewers with the reserved balsamic syrup and the olive oil. Sprinkle with kosher salt (don't skip this step, it really makes the dish) Enjoy!
