Bbq Halloumi Fajita Skewers Recipes

HALLOUMI SKEWERS

Steps:

• Start with the marinade. Peel the garlic, and finely grate into a large bowl with the zest of 1 lemon. Cut the peaches into quarters, removing the stones, and finely grate just one quarter into the mix. Add all the remaining peach quarters, squeeze in most of the lemon juice (save a little for later), add 4 tablespoons of oil and the oregano. Season with black pepper, and lightly toss together.
• Score both sides of each block of halloumi in a criss-cross fashion, going about ½cm deep, then cut each into 6 chunks and add to the peaches.
• Cut the bread into chunks about the same size as the halloumi, add to the bowl and toss it all together.
• Take a bit of pride in skewering everything up onto 4 long skewers, then cook on the barbecue, or in a griddle pan, until golden and beautifully charred. Move to a serving platter.
• Tear off the top leafy half of the parsley and dress with the remaining lemon juice, a little oil and a pinch of salt, then scatter over the skewers. Crush the pistachios in a pestle and mortar and sprinkle over the top, then drizzle with the honey to finish.

• Grill the skewers over medium-high heat, flipping once, until the protein's internal temperatures are as follows: Chicken - 165ºF (75ºC)

HALLOUMI FAJITAS

Steps:

• Split each halloumi block through the middle lengthways (they should have a natural seam). Cut each half into four strips. Heat half the oil in a frying pan over a medium heat, and fry the halloumi strips for a few minutes on each side until golden. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
• Heat the remaining oil in the pan over a high heat, and fry the onion and peppers for 5 mins until just soft and starting to char. Add the garlic, paprika and coriander with some seasoning and cook for 1 min more. Pour in the lime juice and fried halloumi, and stir very gently so the halloumi doesn't break up. Will keep at room temperature for a few hours. Reheat over a low heat with a little water.
• Warm the wraps in a low oven wrapped in foil. Alternatively, warm two at a time for 10 seconds in the microwave (not wrapped in foil), or by holding them directly over a gas flame with a pair of tongs (this will give you flavourful charred edges).
• Pile the halloumi filling into the warm wraps, with a few slices of avocado each, some coriander leaves, and spoonfuls of chilli sauce or soured cream, if you like.

GRILLED HALLOUMI AND MUSHROOM SKEWERS WITH QUINOA AND PESTO

Steps:

• Bring water and quinoa to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until quinoa is tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
• Meanwhile, set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
• Thread mushrooms, halloumi cheese, and tomatoes onto skewers. Cook under the broiler, rotating the skewers a few times, until halloumi beings to turn golden and the vegetables are cooked through, about 5 minutes
• Stir pesto and olive oil together in a bowl; add enough oil to reach the desired consistency.
• Divide quinoa between 2 plates and place skewers on top. Lightly drizzle with pesto mixture.

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.

BBQ HALLOUMI FAJITA SKEWERS

Steps:

• Combine all the ingredients for the spice mix. Light the barbecue and wait until the coals are ashen.
• Put the peppers, onions and halloumi in a bowl, drizzle with the oil, sprinkle over the spice mix and season with salt and pepper. Gently toss together to coat the veg and cheese, being careful not to break up the halloumi. Thread the peppers, onions and cheese alternately onto the skewers.
• Scoop the avocado flesh into a bowl along with the lime juice and a pinch of salt. Mash everything together with a fork and set aside until you're ready to eat.
• Cook the skewers on the barbecue for 5-8 mins on each side (this will depend on the heat of the barbecue). The peppers, onions and halloumi should be soft and charred in places. Meanwhile, warm the tortilla wraps on the barbecue, then wrap in a clean tea towel to keep warm.
• Serve the skewers alongside the tortillas, smashed avocado, coriander and soured cream, and some chipotle chilli sauce, if you like, then let everyone dig in to assemble their own fajitas.
