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

  1. Cook the sausage according to the directions on the package and cut it into 1-inch rounds. Cut the basil leaves lengthwise into thirds. 
  2. 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!
