Haloumi Sausage And Pesto Skewers Food

HALLOUMI SKEWERS

Steps:

• Start with the marinade. Peel the garlic, and finely grate into a large bowl with the zest of 1 lemon. Cut the peaches into quarters, removing the stones, and finely grate just one quarter into the mix. Add all the remaining peach quarters, squeeze in most of the lemon juice (save a little for later), add 4 tablespoons of oil and the oregano. Season with black pepper, and lightly toss together.
• Score both sides of each block of halloumi in a criss-cross fashion, going about ½cm deep, then cut each into 6 chunks and add to the peaches.
• Cut the bread into chunks about the same size as the halloumi, add to the bowl and toss it all together.
• Take a bit of pride in skewering everything up onto 4 long skewers, then cook on the barbecue, or in a griddle pan, until golden and beautifully charred. Move to a serving platter.
• Tear off the top leafy half of the parsley and dress with the remaining lemon juice, a little oil and a pinch of salt, then scatter over the skewers. Crush the pistachios in a pestle and mortar and sprinkle over the top, then drizzle with the honey to finish.

HALLOUMI SKEWERS

Steps:

• Slice the halloumi into large chunks and thread onto three skewers. Light the barbecue. Brush the skewers with your chosen glaze and, when the flames have died down, cook for 1-2 mins on each side (or, cook in a griddle pan set over a high heat). Brush with the remaining glaze and cook for another 1 min on each side.

HALOUMI, SAUSAGE AND PESTO SKEWERS

Steps:

• Cook the sausages in a saucepan of simmering water, uncovered, for 5 minutes; remove the sausages and cool for 5 minutes; cut each sausage into four even pieces.
• To make the dressing, combine all the ingredients in a jug and mix well.
• Alternating with each, thread three sausage pieces and two pieces each of capsicum, tomatoes and haloumi onto 12 skewers.
• Heat a large oiled (preferably non-stick) pan over a high heat; add the skewers; cook in batches, brushing with dressing and turning occasionally, for about 5 minutes, or until browned and heated through.
• Arrange the haloumi, sausage and pesto skewers on baby rocket leaves or baby spinach leaves and top with shaved parmesan to serve.
• NOTE: Cooking the sausages in water before grilling or BBQing ensures that they don't burn on the outside before cooking all the way through. If you are using wooden skewers, pre-soak them in water.

ONE-PAN BASIL HALLOUMI CHICKEN RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 350˚F / 175˚ C
• Turn the block of halloumi on its side and cut it into three to four even slices. Set aside.
• Pour the olive oil, salt, and pepper into a large plastic bag. Put the tomatoes and chicken in and massage until everything is evenly coated in the seasoned oil.
• Dump everything onto a foil lined baking sheet. Top the chicken with the large basil leaves and then the slices of halloumi.
• Bake for 15 minutes at 350˚, then turn on the broil setting and cook for another 10 minutes or until the cheese is golden brown and the chicken is cooked. (note: oven times vary, especially broil so keep an eye on it!)
• Take the chicken out and let it rest on a plate and continue to cook the tomatoes for 10 more minutes back on 350˚ F. (They will become super sweet and have a great concentrated tomato flavor!)
• Meanwhile, add the olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper, and lemon juice to a blender and blitz for 30 seconds. Next add the basil and blitz until it's the consistency of pesto, about 30 seconds.
• Enjoy!
