I can't even tell you how surprisingly FANTASTIC these delightful grilled grapes are! They are shockingly awesome. They're sweet, tangy orbs of deliciously and a lovely contrast to the creamy burrata and herbaceous basil. Le sigh... Go expend very little effort and impress someone with these today!

Cuisine: Gluten-Free, Vegan, Vegetarian
Serves: ~15 skewers
Ingredients
2 cups red seedless grapes (I love red flame!)
4 Tablespoons high quality fruity olive oil
3 Tablespoons light manzanilla sherry OR white balsamic vinegar (peach is especially fantastic)
2 teaspoons brown sugar
2 teaspoons fennel seeds, crushed in a mortar and pestle
freshly ground pepper
1 teaspoon flaky sea salt
1-2 ball (6 ounces) burrata cheese - no judgement, go nuts!
fresh basil leaves
Instructions
Whisk together olive oil, sherry/vinegar, brown sugar, fennel seeds, pepper and salt in a large bowl. Add grapes and toss well to coat. Let marinate for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Skewer 6 grapes per 7" skewer and save the marinade (good GOD save the marinade!).
Heat a grill pan over hight heat and grill grapes for a couple of minutes on each side until you see that gorgeous char.
Serve with a giant ball of burrata and drizzle grapes and cheese generously with marinade. Sprinkle small basil leaves over the top and dive in!
ENJOY!!!
