Notes

Top Tip: double the portion and flavours by slicing the bocconcini balls in half. This way more surface areas get a kiss from the marinade. The longer you marinade the better it tastes.
Tip: If not serving right away marinade in the fridge but allow to come to room temperature before serving. If you plan on serving soon after making this recipe, marinade at room temperature. No need for the fridge.
