Steps:
- Remove the leaves from all but 2 inches of the rosemary sprigs (if using). Wrap each piece of mozzarella in a sopressata or prosciutto strip. On each skewer, place one each of the wrapped mozzarella and vegetables. Vary the order in which you arrange the ingredients on each skewer. Stack the skewers on a serving platter and drizzle over the olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Shave fresh pecorino romano over the top.
Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the taste of your kabobs.
- Cut your ingredients into uniform pieces. This will help them cook evenly.
- Marinate your kabobs for at least 30 minutes. This will help them absorb flavor and stay moist during cooking.
- Preheat your grill or oven to the proper temperature before cooking. This will help prevent your kabobs from sticking and ensure that they cook evenly.
- Cook your kabobs over medium heat. This will help prevent them from burning.
- Turn your kabobs frequently while cooking. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from drying out.
- Serve your kabobs immediately. They are best enjoyed hot off the grill or out of the oven.
