Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 24 cheese tortellini
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic (, minced)
  • 24 kalamata olives (, pitted)
  • 4 ounce block of feta cheese (, cut into 24 cubes)
  • 8 stuffed grape leaves (, cut into thirds)
  • 2 red bell peppers (, roasted)

Instruction

  • Cook the tortellini one minute shy of the package instructions
  • Drain water completely (leave the tortellini in) and let pot heat on high to dry out (this should just take a few seconds).
  • You could also just drain the tortellini in a strainer and wipe the inside of the pot dry but I find prepping for a holiday party to be time consuming and this trick saves a couple of minutes and one less dirty strainer!
  • Add the olive oil to the hot pan and add the garlic.
  • Toss for 15 seconds until you can smell the garlic and oil.
  • Remove from pan and let cool.
  • Cut the roasted bell pepper into 24 strips.
  • Add the pieces to a skewer in alternating patterns.
  • Serve at room temperature, garnish bowl with lemon wedges if desired, they go great with the grape leaves and over the tortellini.
