A veggie treat for your barbecue

Provided by Ainsley Harriott

Categories Main course

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

2 medium courgettes
1 large red onion
250g low fat halloumi cheese , cut into 16 chunks (we used Cypressa Halloumi Lite)
16 cherry tomatoes
1 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp lemon juice
2 tsp fresh thyme leaves (preferably lemon thyme)
1 tsp Dijon mustard
pitta bread , to serve

Steps:

Halve the courgettes lengthways, then thickly slice. Cut the onion into wedges and separate into pieces. Thread the halloumi, cherry tomatoes, courgettes and onion onto eight skewers. Cover and chill the kebabs until you are ready to cook (You can do this up to half a day ahead.)
To make the baste, mix together the olive oil, lemon juice, thyme, mustard and seasoning. (This can be made ahead and chilled too.)
Preheat the barbecue or grill and arrange the kebabs on the rack. Brush with the baste, stirring it first to make sure the ingredients are blended. Cook for 4-5 minutes, turning often, until the cheese begins to turn golden and the vegetables are just tender. Serve while still hot with warm pitta bread.

Tips:

Choose fresh vegetables: Use fresh, firm veggies for the best flavor and texture. Avoid veggies that are wilted or bruised.
Cut vegetables into uniform pieces: This will help them cook evenly. For example, cut zucchini and bell peppers into 1-inch cubes.
Marinate the vegetables for at least 30 minutes: This will help them absorb the flavors of the marinade. You can marinate them for longer, up to overnight, if you have time.
Preheat your grill or oven: If you're using a grill, preheat it to medium-high heat. If you're using an oven, preheat it to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
Grill or roast the vegetables until they are tender: The cooking time will vary depending on the vegetables you're using. Cook them until they are slightly charred and tender when pierced with a fork.

Conclusion:

Marinated veggie kebabs with halloumi cheese are a delicious and easy-to-make summer meal. They're perfect for parties, cookouts, or a quick weeknight dinner. The vegetables are marinated in a flavorful combination of olive oil, lemon juice, herbs, and spices, then grilled or roasted until tender. The halloumi cheese adds a salty, savory flavor to the kebabs. Serve them with your favorite dipping sauce or tzatziki sauce.
