Fruity...is probably not the word you'd use to describe a kabob...that is unless of course the main ingredient is Watermelon! Today, Amy Riolo, who wrote The Ultimate Mediterranean Diet, came by Tonia's Kitchen to talk about her Cyprian-inspired Watermelon kabobs, that are a wonderful treat for outdoor picnics or barbeques. Amy told Tonia she takes a traditional Cypriot cheese called Halloumi and places it on a kabob with basil leaves and watermelon. Then she drizzles it with olive oil. It's a fresh, healthy snack that's colorful and fun to eat! Amy told Tonia the kids love it, and so will you! A word about Halloumi cheese, it is available in most gourmet supermarkets, but if you can't find it, Amy tells Tonia Feta Cheese will do. Tonia’s Kitchen, a nationally syndicated radio show, is where food and wine lovers explore, practice and grow. Listeners hear Tonia talk with top chefs, groundbreaking cookbook authors, fellow foodies and experts in the worlds of wine and gastronomy. Aspiring kitchen masters are invited to have a seat at the table in Tonia's Kitchen where they'll learn that, whatever they cook, taste and nutrition go hand-in-hand and they'll be taken beyond everyday ingredients!
