1 Video | Photo: Italian Style Sausage Skewers Recipe
Ingredients
- 8 ounces Italian style poultry sausage*
- 8 large basil leaves
- 12 pitted calamata olives, halved
- 24 grape tomatoes
- 24 (6-inch) wooden skewers
Directions
Cook the sausage according to the directions on the package and cut it into 1-inch rounds. Cut the basil leaves lengthwise into thirds.
Put an olive half about 1/3 of the way down onto a skewer. Then add 1 strip of basil, folding so it fits nicely on the skewer. Follow with 1 grape tomato and a round of sausage. Position everything on the end of the skewer so the skewer can stand up on its sausage end.

Served these at our Super Bowl party yesterday and they were a touchdown! Simple to put together; I prepped the skewers with the olives, basil and grape tomatoes in the morning and just added the warmed through sausage just before serving. I used a chicken sausage that contained tiny bits of apple and maple syrup.....sounds weird but was extremely good! I will use that sausage again in other ways. I was turned off at first by the description but it turned out to be quite a find. There was just a hint of sweetness and it paired so well with the other items on the skewer. These were simple to make, looked fabulous on a pure white platter and were devoured by grateful guests!

These skewers were great! I put them on toothpicks and made them more bite-sized by using a smaller slice of chicken sausage, and a half of cherry tomato with the half of kalamata and basil. They disappeared in a hurry!

A great party finger food. I used Spicy Chicken Gouda sausages that I bought at Costco. I didn't have calamata olives so I used spanish olives and that was fine. The basil/tomato combo was great together. This is a very versatile recipe in that you can add cheese, different olives, etc.
