Halloumi Rec.

[Guest guest]

I think it was Pat who gave me info and recipes for halloumi...I've

found another fave! I can't find low-fat here, but I just use regular

(and I haven't put the nutrtional info into MC yet...)

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

For the Kebabs:

2 med zucchini

1 lg red onion

9 ozs low fat halloumi -- cut into 16 chunks

16 cherry tomatoes

For the Lemon Baste:

1 tbsp olive oil

2 tbsps lemon juice

2 tsps fresh thyme leaves -- preferably lemon thyme

1 tsp dijon mustard

pita bread rounds -- to serve

 

Halve the zucchini lengthways, then thickly slice. Cut the onion into

wedges and separate into pieces. Thread the halloumi, cherry tomatoes,

zucchini and onions onto 8 skewers. Cover and chill to 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 pita bread.
