Ingredients

  • 250g halloumi cheese (cubed)
  • 2 tbsp rose harissa paste
  • 3 tbsp wildflower honey
  • 1 bunch fresh mint (finely chopped)
  • 1/2 cup pomegranate arils
  • 1 tsp toasted cumin seeds
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 lemon (zested)
  • 8 wooden skewers

Instructions

1
Begin by soaking your wooden skewers in water for 20 minutes to prevent charring.
2
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the rose harissa, honey, and one tablespoon of olive oil to create a vibrant, sticky glaze.
3
Thread the halloumi cubes onto the skewers, leaving a slight gap between each for even heat circulation.
4
Preheat your grill pan or outdoor grill to medium-high heat.
5
Brush the halloumi generously with the harissa-honey glaze.
6
Grill the skewers for 2-3 minutes per side until the cheese develops a deep, golden-brown crust with characteristic grill marks.
7
While the skewers rest, combine the fresh mint, pomegranate arils, lemon zest, cumin seeds, and remaining olive oil in a small bowl to create a bright, acidic gremolata.
8
Serve the hot skewers immediately, heavily garnished with the fresh pomegranate mixture for a sophisticated textural contrast.
