Method

Light the barbecue and wait until the flames have died down, or preheat the grill to high. Thread the strawberries onto metal skewers (or pre-soaked wooden ones) and brush all over with the oil. Place on the barbecue or grill, sprinkle with half the sugar and cook for 3-4 mins until they begin to char. Set aside to cool.
Spoon the quark into a bowl and pour in the cream and remaining sugar. Whisk together until smooth. Scatter the basil over the strawberry skewers and serve with the cream for dipping.
