INSTRUCTIONS
- On each cocktail stick, skewer three ingredients in any combination, though it's best that the last thing added to the skewer is firm so it holds on the rest of the ingredients.
- When adding the parma ham, simply bunch up the slice before piercing. When adding basil leaves, gently fold leaf over and then skewer.
- We find it is best for each cocktail stick to have something sweet, something salty and something strong, so combinations like parma ham, mozzarella and olives. Or sundried tomato, basil and mozzarella.
- You can also add ingredients like marinated artichoke and Italian salami.
- Serve antipasti nibbles with a shallow dish filled with a bit of olive oil and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar for dipping.
