Demo 2
2 x 100g (3 1/2oz) mozzarella balls, drained
2 x thin italian style breads
5 tablespoons olive oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, crushed
grated zest & juice 1 lemon
1 x 410g can borlotti beans, drained & rinsed
1 bunch basil leaves, roughly torn
salt & freshly ground black pepper

Cut each ball of mozzarella in half and thickly slice each half into 4 rough semi circles. Cut each bread stick into 10 slices. Take four skewers and thread 5 bread slices and 4 pieces of mozzarella, alternately onto each skewer, starting and finishing each with a slice of bread. Transfer to a baking tray and set to one side.

Preheat the grill to its highest setting.

In a pan, heat 1 tablespoon oil. Add the onion and gently fry for 4-5 minutes until softened but not coloured. Add the garlic and gently fry for 1 minute. Stir in the lemon juice & zest, 3 tablespoons olive oil, borlotti beans and basil and gently heat through.

Drizzle each bread and cheese stick with a little olive oil and season. Place under the hot grill and grill for 1 minute on each side until the bread is golden and the cheese just beginning to melt.

Transfer a stick to each serving plate and serve at once with a spoonful of sichuan dressed borlotti beans.
