Halloumi Pepper Kebabs With Lemony Cabbage Salad Recipes

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 CHICKEN KEBABS WITH PITA, HALLOUMI AND SHAVED CUCUMBER SALAD

Steps:

• Soak the skewers in water for at least 30 minutes. Preheat the grill to 375 degrees F or preheat a large grill pan over medium heat. Clean and oil the grates or grill pan.
• Combine the lemon zest with the 2 tablespoons grapeseed oil, the cumin, turmeric, salt, garlic powder and pepper in a medium bowl; stir together. Add the chicken and toss to coat. Let sit for 5 minutes to 1 hour, then thread 5 to 6 chicken cubes onto each skewer.
• While the chicken marinates, peel the cucumber into long ribbons with a vegetable peeler. Transfer to a small bowl. Add the dill fronds, the juice from 1/2 of the zested lemon and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Toss and set aside until ready to serve.
• Grill the skewers, turning every 3 to 4 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and all sides are charred, 8 to 10 minutes total. Remove to a platter and squeeze juice from the remaining 1/2 lemon over the top.
• Two minutes before the chicken is done cooking, grill the halloumi until warmed through and lightly charred, about 1 minute per side.
• For each serving, top 1 pita with some of the cucumber salad, 1 to 2 slices of the halloumi and 2 chicken skewers. Drizzle with tahini and serve.

HALLOUMI & PEPPER KEBABS WITH LEMONY CABBAGE SALAD

Steps:

• Thread the halloumi and red peppers onto 8 soaked wooden skewers and put on a plate. Stir the oil and oregano together, then drizzle it over the kebabs. Season well with black pepper - you shouldn't need salt.
• To make the salad, put the cabbage in a bowl. Mix together the oil, lemon juice and seasoning, pour over the cabbage, and toss until well coated, then stir through the parsley.
• Barbecue the skewers for 10 mins on each side until the cheese is golden and the peppers slightly charred. Serve on a large platter with pitta breads and tzatziki, with salad on the side.
