An excellent recipe for squeaky cheese aka halloumi. Great as a main course (we served with a bean dish and flatbreads) or as a side.
Marinated halloumi – serves 3
- 250g block of halloumi, cut into 6 cubes
- ½ red pepper, cut into 6 pieces
- ½ yellow pepper, cut into 6 pieces
- 6 cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 tsp dried mint
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp ground coriander
- 1 tsp paprika
- 3 tbsp garlic oil
TO SERVE:
- flatbreads
- chilli sauce
- lemon wedges
- honey for drizzling
Heat your oven as high as it will go and line a tray with baking paper.
Put the halloumi, peppers and tomatoes into a mixing bowl, then add the herbs, spices, garlic oil and lots of black pepper and gently mix.
Divide the mixture between 3 skewers, then put the skewers onto the paper-lined tray and roast for about 15 minutes.
Serve with flatbreads, chilli sauce, lemon wedges and a drizzle of honey.
