About this saved recipe
Ingredients
- 7 1/10 oz mortadella
- 1 medium watermelon
- 1 piece burrata
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- to taste salt
- to taste black pepper
- 4 skewers
Instructions
- 1Gather all ingredients and place them on a clean work surface.
- 2Lay out the mortadella slices, watermelon cubes, and burrata pieces within easy reach.
- 3If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 10 minutes to prevent burning.
- 4Thread each skewer in the following order: one mortadella slice, one watermelon cube, and a small piece of burrata. Press gently so the items stay together.
- 5Heat a non‑stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil, swirling to coat the surface.
- 6When the oil shimmers (about 30 seconds), add the assembled skewers, spacing them evenly in the pan.
- 7Fry the mortadella side for 1–2 minutes until it turns lightly crisp and golden; turn the skewer to briefly sear the opposite side for another 30 seconds to warm the watermelon and burrata.
- 8Remove the skewers from the pan and place them on a paper‑towel‑lined plate to drain excess oil.
- 9Season each skewer with a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper while still warm.
- 10Arrange the skewers on a serving platter and serve immediately, allowing guests to enjoy the contrast of warm mortadella with cool melon and creamy burrata.
- 11Optional: drizzle a few drops of extra‑virgin olive oil or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice over the skewers for added brightness.
