Description

The salty halloumi cheese is so delicious when fried or grilled. This summer, grill it with chorizo, tomatoes, and drizzled with a honey-lime dressing.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 4 wooden skewers, soaked in water for half an hour
  • 1 chorizo sausage (150 to 170 grams/5.3-6 ounces), peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
  • 200 grams halloumi cheese, cut into cubes
  • Cherry tomatoes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon vinegar
  • Juice and zest of 1 lime
  • 1 tablespoon honey

Instructions

  1. Soak the wooden skewers in water for half an hour to prevent burning.
  2. Cut the chorizo into 1-inch chunks and the halloumi cheese into cubes.
  3. Thread the chorizo, halloumi, and cherry tomatoes onto the skewers.
  4. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
  5. Grill the skewers for about 10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the halloumi is golden and the chorizo is cooked through.
  6. Mix olive oil, vinegar, lime juice and zest, and honey to make the dressing.
  7. Drizzle the dressing over the skewers before serving.

Notes

‘Pinch’ the cheese quite tightly as you thread it onto the skewer. It’s a bit fragile at times, so this will help it to NOT fall apart as you thread it on the stick!

When you broil/grill the skewers, don’t worry if one or two bits of halloumi fall off. Just grill them to one side, then push them back onto the skewers when you serve them!
