During our last week at uni we decided to have a bbq, and a successful one it was! Can't say the same about the weather. But hey we do live in England ;) This was April's first time trying halloumi cheese. She loved it. A lot. So here it is our recipe for halloumi skewers.
These are the basic items needed for the skewers. At uni we did add chicken pieces that were marinated in Nandos sauce, you could also add vegetable such as mushrooms or red onions.
For the marinade you need 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil (normal olive oil will do as well), a hand full of mint chopped up (rosemary can be used in replacement of mint), Juice of half a lemon and salt and pepper to taste.
Chop up your vegetables into bite size chunks. Add your vegetables and marinade into a big bowl and mix it all together. Leave to marinade for half an hour to a hour. You can leave it to marinate overnight for a stronger flavour. In the mean time soak the wooden skewers in water until needed. This prevents the skewer from setting on fire when it comes to bbq-ing.
When your ready to bbq, thread pieces of halloumi and vegetables onto the skewer. Be careful when adding halloumi pieces as they are break very easily.
Place skewers on the bbq and turn every minute for about 3-4 minute.
and then your done! Hope you enjoy :)
