Greek Antipasto Skewers
Greek Antipasto Skewers combine tender cheese tortellini, salty kalamata olives, cubed feta, roasted red bell pepper strips, and stuffed grape leaves on skewers for an appealing Mediterranean appetizer. Lightly tossed in garlic-infused olive oil, the tortellini are softened but retain bite, pairing well with the savory and tangy mix of ingredients. Presented at room temperature, these skewers offer a balance of textures and flavors ideal for holiday parties or casual gatherings.

Ingredients
- 24 cheese tortellini
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 clove garlic , minced
- 24 kalamata olives , pitted
- 4 ounce feta cheese cut into 24 cubes, block form
- 8 grape leaves cut into thirds, stuffed
- 2 bell pepper roasted, red
Instructions
- Cook the tortellini one minute shy of the package instructions
- Drain water completely (leave the tortellini in) and let pot heat on high to dry out (this should just take a few seconds).
- You could also just drain the tortellini in a strainer and wipe the inside of the pot dry but I find prepping for a holiday party to be time consuming and this trick saves a couple of minutes and one less dirty strainer!
- Add the olive oil to the hot pan and add the garlic.
- Toss for 15 seconds until you can smell the garlic and oil.
- Remove from pan and let cool.
- Cut the roasted bell pepper into 24 strips.
- Add the pieces to a skewer in alternating patterns.
- Serve at room temperature, garnish bowl with lemon wedges if desired, they go great with the grape leaves and over the tortellini.
