Hello Halloumi!

Chargrilled halloumi with cherry tomatoes and rosemary skewers

Halloumi is filling, nourishing, and, thanks to its high melting point, can easily be fried or grilled. This is a quick and easy recipe that works great as a starter.

Chargrilled halloumi with cherry tomatoes and rosemary skewers

Serves 6

YOU WILL NEED
* 6 long sticks of rosemary * 2 packets of halloumi, cut into even-sized chunks * 18 cherry tomatoes * olive oil

FOR THE DRESSING
* 1 red chilli, finely diced * Juice and zest 1 lemon * a small handful chopped mint * a good splash of your best extra-virgin olive oil * a grind of pepper

METHOD
1 Preheat the grill/barbecue/skillet pan. 2 Cut the sticks of rosemary to the same length. Using your forefinger and thumb, strip three quarters of the rosemary away from the woody stem and create a sharpened end to thread the cheese and tomatoes alternatively. 3 Brush with some olive oil. Put under a barbecue or a hot grill until cheese is golden brown (3?4 minutes). 4 Mix all the ingredients for the dressing. Drizzle over the hot cheese skewers.

Tip: To prevent the top leafy bits of rosemary from burning, soak them in water before threading them.
