Instructions

  • Make marinade: In a small bowl, combine wine vinegar, honey, salt and crushed red pepper. Stir to dissolve honey and salt. Stir in parsley, thyme, garlic and olive oil. Transfer half of marinade to a separate bowl. Stir Figs into one bowl; add 1 tablespoon water. Combine cheese and remaining marinade. Cover both bowls and chill for 8 hours or up to two days, stirring occasionally.
  • To assemble skewers, Drain Figs and cheese, reserving marinade and discarding garlic. Alternate one of each item (Fig, cheese ball, bell pepper, green onion and salami or olive onto each skewer. For larger skewers, alternate two of each item on each skewer.

Notes

Tips:
  • If you don’t have small appetizer-size skewers use longer ones and thread 2 pieces of each ingredient onto each.
  • Cut dry salami into 4 (¼-inch) slices. Then cut each slice into 4 quarters.
