Ingredients
- 24 tortellinis (I use Spinach and Ricotta, sausage is also a great flavor)
- 24 lices pepperoni (extra thick cut spicy)
- 24 Italian Pepperoncinis (piece them and squeeze out the liquid)
- 24 artichoke heart quarters
- 1/4 cup balsamic glaze
- 2 tablespoons butter
Instructions
- Cook the tortellini to the manufacturers specifications.
- An optional but delicious step, brown some butter in a pan and toss the cooked tortellini in it.
- To brown butter melt over medium heat, it will begin to foam as it melts. When the solids drop to the bottom of the pan and it looks like a very light colored tea, you can turn it off so it doesn't start to burn. It is best to use a light colored pan for this so you can see the color of the butter, but if not judge it by putting a spoon into the butter.
- For the pepperoni, to bring out the flavor I let them brown in a pan for a couple of minutes to get them a bit crispy and to lose the flavor of the cold pork fat.
- Add your items to your skewer, one per skewer in any order you would like.
- Drizzle your balsamic glaze over the top.
