Canapes with olives and cheese on skewers

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   To prepare this wonderful snack, choose the right cheese. Hard cheese is best combined with olives and lemon, so take it. It will be even better if the cheese tastes sharper, but you can also use a more sweet-milky one. Cut the cheese into cubes, but not too large (about 1 cm x 1 cm, but not more than 1.5 cm), because the olives themselves are small. So it will be more beautiful, and the cheese will not clog the taste of the other ingredients.

2. Step 2:

   

   Use olives that are seedless. Open a jar of olives and use a spoon with holes to get the required amount. Put the olives on a napkin so that the excess liquid runs off, and later this liquid does not spoil the appearance of the dish. If desired, you can use stuffed olives, for example, with pepper or even anchovy.

3. Step 3:

   

   Pour boiling water over the lemon and wipe it dry. Then thinly slice it into circles. Cut the mugs in half to make lemon half rings. Lemon slices must necessarily be thinly sliced so that they bend well, they can be easily impaled on skewers.

5. Step 4:

   

   Now start assembling the canapes. To do this, use skewers or, if there are none, use ordinary toothpicks. Heat the halves of lemon circles on skewers from two corners. This way you will get a lemon that resembles a sail in shape.

6. Step 5:

   

   After the lemon, string green olives on skewers, then heat a piece of cheese on each skewer. If lemon and olives can be swapped, then cheese is not. It must be strung last, since it has a square shape and holds it due to hardness, which means it will be stable unlike the rest of the ingredients. The canapes are ready.
