INGREDIENTS

12 ripe but firm apricots
160 g smoked cheese knots
16 slices of pancetta
16 mini mozzarellas
8 short wooden skewers
4 tablespoons olive oil
A large handful of fresh basil
Juice of 1 lemon
Salt
Pepper

INSTRUCTIONS

1
Halve the apricots and remove the pits. Wrap each cheese knot with a slice of pancetta. Alternately skewer: half an apricot, a wrapped knot, and a mini mozzarella. Preheat the grill to medium heat. Grill the skewers on all sides for about 8–10 minutes, until the pancetta is crispy, the apricots are softened, and the cheeses start to melt slightly.
2
Prepare the dressing. In a blender or mortar, blend basil with lemon juice, oil, salt, and pepper. Season to taste. If the lemon is very sour, add a pinch of sugar. Transfer the finished skewers to a plate or wooden board, drizzle lightly with the dressing, and serve, for example, with fresh baguette and arugula.

Tip

You can add a pinch of sugar if the lemon is too sharp.
