Ingredients

  • 250g halloumi cheese cut into cubes
  • 1 red bell pepper chopped
  • 1 yellow bell pepper chopped
  • 1 red onion cut into wedges
  • 2 tablespoons rose harissa paste
  • 3 tablespoons wildflower honey
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 cup fresh mint leaves
  • 1/4 cup roasted salted pistachios
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest

Instructions

1
Begin by soaking wooden skewers in water for 20 minutes to prevent charring.
2
In a small bowl, whisk together the rose harissa, honey, and olive oil until emulsified into a vibrant glaze.
3
Thread the halloumi, bell peppers, and onion wedges onto the skewers in an alternating pattern.
4
Preheat your grill or cast-iron skillet to medium-high heat.
5
Brush the skewers generously with the harissa-honey mixture and grill for 3-4 minutes per side, turning until the halloumi is golden-brown and the vegetables are tender-crisp.
6
While the skewers cook, finely chop the mint, pistachios, garlic, and lemon zest together on a cutting board to form a rustic gremolata.
7
Once the halloumi is charred, remove from heat, plate immediately, and shower the skewers with the fresh green gremolata for a bright, crunchy finish.
