Vegetable and Halloumi Kebabs
Description
This recipe assembles skewers by threading cubes of halloumi cheese alongside fresh cherry tomatoes, diced red bell peppers, and thin strips of courgette (zucchini). The ingredients are coated in a mixture of olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, crushed garlic, dried oregano, and thyme, then seasoned with salt and pepper before grilling.
The grilling process softens the vegetables while creating a slightly crispy outside on the halloumi, which holds its shape and develops a pleasing chewy bite. The combination balances mild, salty cheese with fresh vegetables and zesty herbs.
These kebabs serve well with dips like tzatziki and complement grilled meats or salads. They are versatile for cooking under the grill, on a barbecue, or in an oven broiler.
