Bocconcini with Mint & Chili

You can buy bocconcini, bite-size balls of mozzarella, in most good cheese shops, larger supermarkets & delis.  Alternatively, buy a block of regular mozzarella and cut it into bite-size pieces.

  • 9 ounces bocconcini mozzarella
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried chili flakes
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh mint
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
 

Method

Drain the bocconcini and place in a bowl.  Sprinkle with the chili and mint and drizzle with the oil.  Toss to coat each ball well.

Cover and leave to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.  Allow the cheese to return to room temperature before serving.

Serves: 4
