Description

These grilled halloumi and vegetable kebabs are a celebration of fresh flavors and vibrant textures, perfect for a light yet satisfying meal any time of year. Whether you're firing up the grill outdoors or using your oven's broiler, these kebabs promise a delightful culinary experience. Imagine biting into a juicy, perfectly charred bell pepper, its sweetness complementing the salty, squeaky halloumi cheese.

Each element is carefully threaded onto skewers, creating a colorful and enticing presentation. The marinade, a fragrant concoction of fresh mint, oregano, zesty lemon juice, and pungent garlic, infuses every bite with a burst of Mediterranean sunshine. The herbs lend a refreshing coolness, while the lemon brightens the flavors and the garlic adds a savory depth.

As the halloumi grills, it develops a beautiful golden-brown crust, its interior softening to a delectable, melt-in-your-mouth texture. The vegetables, meanwhile, become tender and slightly caramelized, their natural sweetness intensified by the heat. The combination of textures is simply irresistible: the firm yet yielding halloumi, the crisp-tender vegetables, and the aromatic herbs create a symphony of sensations on your palate.

These kebabs are incredibly versatile; you can customize them with your favorite vegetables, such as zucchini, red onion, cherry tomatoes, or even chunks of eggplant. For an extra touch of smoky flavor, consider adding a pinch of smoked paprika to the marinade. Serve these halloumi kebabs with a simple green salad dressed with a light vinaigrette to complete the meal.

The salad provides a refreshing counterpoint to the richness of the cheese and vegetables, creating a balanced and harmonious dining experience. They are also fantastic served with couscous, quinoa, or a side of grilled pita bread, perfect for soaking up all the flavorful juices. These kebabs are not only delicious but also visually appealing, making them an ideal choice for entertaining.

Their vibrant colors and enticing aroma will impress your guests and make them eager to dig in. Prepare to be transported to the sun-drenched shores of the Mediterranean with every bite of these exquisite halloumi and vegetable kebabs.

Instructions

    1.
    Soak 4 wooden skewers in a large dish filled with water.
    2.
    Slice the zucchini into 12 discs about 1 cm thick. In a large mixing bowl, combine the zucchini discs, cherry tomatoes, and 8 chunks of halloumi (about 1 inch long). Season with salt and pepper.
    3.
    Finely chop the mint and oregano and add them to the bowl.
    4.
    Add the lemon juice, olive oil, and crushed garlic to the bowl. Mix thoroughly with your hands to ensure the vegetables and cheese are evenly coated in the marinade.
    5.
    Cover the bowl and refrigerate to marinate for 20 minutes.
    6.
    Thread the marinated vegetables and halloumi onto the kebab skewers. Each skewer should have 3 zucchini discs, 2 cherry tomatoes, and 2 cubes of halloumi.
    7.
    Preheat a grill to medium heat and arrange the skewers side by side on a grill tray.
    8.
    Grill for 8-10 minutes, or until the zucchini is tender and the cheese begins to soften and turn golden brown.
