Grilled Halloumi Kebabs Recipes

GRILLED HALLOUMI KEBABS

Steps:

• Combine oil and basil leaves in a food processor; pulse to combine. Place halloumi cheese in a flat bowl. Pour basil-infused oil over the cheese. Toss to coat and let marinate 1 hour.
• Heat vinegar and honey in a small saucepan over medium heat. Simmer until sauce begins to thicken, about 7 minutes. Turn heat off and set aside.
• Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat.
• Add cherry tomatoes to the cheese and toss until coated. Thread cheese and tomatoes on skewers.
• Place on the preheated grill. Grill for 3 minutes, flip and grill for 3 more minutes.
• Transfer skewers to a serving platter. Drizzle with vinegar reduction and serve immediately. Garnish with additional basil if desired.

HALLOUMI KEBABS WITH THYME & LEMON BASTE

Steps:

• Halve the courgettes lengthways, then thickly slice. Cut the onion into wedges and separate into pieces. Thread the halloumi, cherry tomatoes, courgettes and onion onto eight skewers. Cover and chill the kebabs until you are ready to cook (You can do this up to half a day ahead.)
• To make the baste, mix together the olive oil, lemon juice, thyme, mustard and seasoning. (This can be made ahead and chilled too.)
• Preheat the barbecue or grill and arrange the kebabs on the rack. Brush with the baste, stirring it first to make sure the ingredients are blended. Cook for 4-5 minutes, turning often, until the cheese begins to turn golden and the vegetables are just tender. Serve while still hot with warm pitta bread.

GRILLED HALLOUMI SKEWERS

Steps:

• In a large bowl whisk together olive oil, vinegar, herbs, red pepper flakes, and olives and season with salt and pepper, to tastes. Add the cheese and potatoes and toss until completely coated. Cover and put in the refrigerator to marinate for 1 to 2 hours.
• Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
• Soak wooden skewers in water to prevent them from burning. Skewer 1 piece of cheese then a potato followed by another piece of cheese on each skewer. Put the skewers on a well oiled grill and cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove the skewers from the grill to a serving platter and serve with a drizzle of the marinade.

GRILLED HALLOUMI AND WATERMELON KEBOBS

Steps:

• Set up your grill for direct heat by spreading the coals evenly along the bottom. On each skewer, alternately thread the halloumi and watermelon. Drizzle with olive oil and season with pepper. Place on the grill and char, about 1 minute. Flip and char the other side for 30 to 40 seconds. You are looking for grill marks on the watermelon and for the halloumi to get slightly soft. Remove to a platter and drizzle with hot honey. Sprinkle mint over the top and serve.
