½ juice lemon
1 clove garlic
2 tbsp olive oil
Equipment:
Skewers
BBQ / griddle pan
Instructions
Cut all your vegetables and halloumi into chunks that will fit nicely onto your skewers
Not too big not too small - about ¾ of an inch If you want to get precise, would be perfect
Using a pestle and mortar if you have one, pound the thyme, garlic and chopped chilli, salt and pepper
Add the lemon juice (bit of the zest too if you like a tang) and olive oil, mix to a paste
You can also use a blender to make the paste
Put all the veggies and halloumi into a large mixing bowl
Pour the paste over and leave to marinade for ½ hour or longer
Skewer up and grill on a nice on BBQ or griddle pan for 5 – 6 minutes
Or until the halloumi is just beginning to go soft and gooey
