9. Mix the 100g of pesto with an equal amount of olive oil in a bowl and mix through so it becomes runnier. 

10. Brush the skewers with some of the pesto to lightly coated them. 

11. Place the skewers on the BBQ or griddle and cook for approx. 5 mins on each side until golden brown and cooked through. 

12. Remove from the grill and serve on a platter. Brush with more of the runny pesto and grate a generous amount of Pecorino cheese.
