Italian Sausage Skewers

Easy Italian side dish with sausage and cheese.

Total time: 20 minutes
Servings: 6

Ingredients

• 4 large (approximately 250g) Italian poultry sausages
• 24 fresh basil leaves
• 24 pitted kalamata olives
• 24 cherry tomatoes
• 24 cubes Friulano cheese
• 24 6-inch wooden skewers

Directions

• Cook the sausage by boiling for 10-12 minutes or according to package instructions. Let cool and cut into 1 inch rounds.
• Assemble skewers by placing an olive 1/3 of the way up the skewer, then adding a folded basil leaf, a cube of cheese, a cherry tomato, and a sausage round.
• Position everything on the end of the skewer so the skewer can stand up on its sausage end.
