TOMATO, WATERMELON, AND BASIL SKEWERS



Tomato, Watermelon, and Basil Skewers image

Everyone seems to love this simple combination of clean, fresh flavors. If watermelon is not in season you can substitute cantaloupe, but for a burst of pure flavor that really plays off the herbal flavor of the tomatoes, you can't beat watermelon. Stacking the skewers vertically and serving them upright looks especially elegant.

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup sugar
1 4- to 5-pound seedless watermelon
60 small basil leaves (or torn larger leaves)
16 cherry tomatoes, halved
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Coarse or kosher salt
Special equipment: 16 (6-inch) wooden skewers

Steps:

  • Combine the balsamic vinegar and sugar in a small nonreactive saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is dissolved. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool.
  • Cut the top and bottom off the watermelon, then make 4 straight cuts down the sides so you have a cube of rindless watermelon. Cut the cube into 1 1/2-inch slices, then cut the slices into 1 1/2-inch cubes. Assemble the skewers by pushing a basil leaf to the end of one skewer. Then skewer a cube of watermelon, then a tomato half. Continue with another watermelon cube, basil leaf, and tomato half, ending with a basil leaf. Repeat to make 15 more skewers.
  • Drizzle the skewers with the reserved balsamic syrup and the olive oil. Sprinkle with salt. Serve.
