Bocconcini, pronounced boh-kohn-CHEE-nee
Not to be confused with broccoli, bocconcini are small (about 1 inch in diameter) nuggets of fresh mozzarella cheese. They are sold in whey or water.
Literally translated, bocconcini means "small mouthful." In Italy the word can refer to a dish that is a mouthful.

4I like to use them in an Italian pasta salad with penne and grape tomatoes. It makes for a yummy lunch.
5My go-to summer sald is bocconcini, grape tomatoes, chick peas & a very good vinaigrette marinated overnight. So good!
6Not for me...
7I could eat those suckers by the pound. Yum!
8I love bocs!
my favourite salad is the caprese salad which is slices of bocconcini, basil leaves and slices of tomato arranged on a plate and drizzled with olive oil.
Tuscanstellina's suggestion, breaded and fried sounds so good!
Man, I'm starving after reading this article, haha!
