This is a great appetizer option with an Mediterranean or Italian theme. This recipe was inspired by a Food Network recipe but I had to add some cheese to the mix.

Antipasto Sausage Skewers

Author: Christopher Kosovich

Ingredients

  • Cooking spray
  • 12 oz fully cooked Italian-style poultry sausage cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1/2 cup lightly packed fresh basil
  • 8 oz mozzarella cheese cut into thin small bit size pieces about the diameter of the sausage
  • 1 12- oz jar roasted red peppers drained, rinsed and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 2/3 cup sun-dried tomatoes cut into 1-inch pieces if large
  • 1 14- ounce can artichoke hearts drained and quartered

Instructions

  • Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat; mist with cooking spray.
  • Add the sausage; cook, turning 2 or 3 times, until warmed through and browned, about 8 minutes.
  • Thread 1 small or 1/2 large basil leaf onto a small wooden skewer.
  • Add a piece of roasted red pepper, sun-dried tomato, mozzarella slice, artichoke, and sausage, arranging them on the skewer so that it can stand up on the sausage end.
  • Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make about two-dozen skewers.
