METHOD

Lay vine leaves flat onto a chopping board, lay a slice of prosciutto and mint leaf on top of each; top with one tablespoon of the drained feta. Roll over once, tuck in the sides and continue rolling over to enclose; thread onto a skewer. Repeat with remaining ingredients.

Rub each skewer with a little of the oil from the marinated cheese, season with salt and pepper. Cook on a heated grill plate for about 2 minutes each side.
