Basil, Tomato & Mozzarella Skewers
VERY simple appetizer! Cut your mozzarella balls in half, cut your tomatoes in half, slice your basil into about 1/2-1 inch squares. Slide basil, tomato and mozzarella onto skewers (alternating) then drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste 🙂 Very yum, very fresh and lite!
I found this recipe that called for soaking your grains and adding apple cider vinegar to the recipe and thought…hmmm, well, maybe.. This is now my new favorite biscuit recipe 🙂
Milled Wheat Biscuits-Soaked Grains
Put flour in a bowl and cut in the butter until a crumble forms. Add milk and apple cider vinegar. Cover with dampened dish towel or cheese cloth and allow to sit overnight to soak your grains.
After the soaking period, add the baking soda, baking powder and seasalt. Knead these ingredients into the dough, approximately 10-15 kneads. Roll dough out to just under desired thickness of biscuits. Cut into biscuits. You can use a biscuit/cookie cutter for round biscuits, but I just cut mine into squares/rectangles like the girl did from the original recipe and it worked out great.
Bake at 450˚ for 8-10 min or if baking on a stone about 11-13 min. We ate ours with gravy made from bacon grease and milled wheat. Well, I also snuck some in with strawberry preserves for a snack 😉
Here is the link to the original recipe I found:
Grilled Italian Mozzarella and Tomato Sandwiches (Whole Wheat)
per sandwich:
Generously butter one side of a slice of bread, place butter side down in skillet over med-low heat. Layer mozzarella to cover slice, place tomatoes on top of mozzarella, sprinkle Italian seasoning on top of tomatoes. Top with generously buttered bread, butter side up. Cook in skillet until side down is golden brown, flip and cook until other side just as golden 😉 viola!
Serve with my Seasoned Tomato Soup from Sauce for an excellent meal!
