  • 1 stick Pepperoni Stick Any cured meat can be swapped.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the 'eyeballs' with mozzarella balls. Carve small indents and press finely chopped kalamata olives into them.
  2. Dice the pepperoni stick into ¾-inch chunks for the skewers. Reserve some slices for later.
  3. Slice the red bell pepper into wedges about an inch wide.
  4. On each skewer, thread a red pepper wedge first, followed by a chunk of pepperoni and then a mozzarella 'eyeball'. Layer another mozzarella ball on top with an extra slice of pepperoni.
  5. Once all skewers are assembled, chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
