Ingredients
|
1
|
|
red onion
|
|
1
|
|
pint cherry or grape tomatoes
|
|
¼
|
|
cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus 2 T
|
|
3
|
|
T organic red wine vinegar
|
|
2
|
|
T fresh basil, chopped
|
|
¼
|
|
cup crumbled goat cheese
|
|
¼
|
|
cup pine nuts, toasted
|
|
wooden skewers
|
|
freshly ground pepper
|
|
sea salt

Directions
- Soak wooden skewers in water for 20 minutes. In the meantime, light the coals or preheat the grill to medium heat.
- Quarter the onion and separate into double-thick wedges. Thread onions and tomatoes onto separate skewers (all tomatoes and all onions) and brush with 2 T olive oil.
- Place skewers on grill and turn several times, until tomatoes are hot and charred (they will “pop” when done—about 5 minutes). Remove tomatoes from grill and place cover on grill. Continue grilling the onions until tender—about another 5 minutes.
- Remove tomatoes and onions from skewers and toss with remaining olive oil, vinegar, and basil in a large serving bowl. Top with goat cheese and pine nuts; add salt and pepper to taste.
