Ingredients
20 sweet cherry tomatoes
4 tbsp tapenade or basil pesto
fresh basil leaves
20 bocconcini
extra virgin olive oil
salt
pepper
20 satay sticks
Method
Cut a slice off the top of each tomato. Scoop out the seeds with a melon baler. Turn upside down to drain.
Drain the bocconcini. Put into a bowl. Season with salt and freshly ground pepper.
Drizzle sparingly with extra virgin olive oil and add some freshly chopped parsley.
Spoon a little tapenade or pesto into each cherry top. Top with a drained bocconcini. Secure the two by inserting a cocktail stick up from the base of the tomato. Stand in a tall glass or galvanised flower pot. Provide paper napkins.
