Ingredients

  • 500g halloumi cheese cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 tablespoons rose harissa paste
  • 3 tablespoons wildflower honey
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 zucchini sliced into half-moons
  • 1 red bell pepper chopped into squares
  • 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves torn
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

Instructions

1
Begin by whisking the rose harissa, wildflower honey, olive oil, and smoked paprika in a small bowl until a smooth, spicy-sweet emulsion forms.
2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the halloumi cubes, zucchini, and bell pepper, gently tossing them with the glaze until evenly coated.
3
Thread the ingredients onto pre-soaked wooden skewers, alternating for a vibrant visual display.
4
Preheat your grill pan or outdoor barbecue to medium-high heat.
5
Place skewers on the hot surface, searing for 2-3 minutes per side until the halloumi develops a deep, golden-brown crust and the vegetables reach a tender-charred texture.
6
Once removed from the heat, finish by sprinkling the fresh mint and lemon zest over the skewers while they are still warm to release the aromatic oils.
