Ingredients
400g cherry tomatoes
2 blocks of halloumi, cut into thick bite-sized wedges
olive oil
sea salt and black pepper
zest of 1 small lime
handful of mint leaves, roughly chopped
8 wooden skewers
Method
Thread each skewer with halloumi chunks and cherry tomatoes, alternating between the two, starting and ending with halloumi. Drizzle lightly with olive oil, especially on the cherry tomatoes.
Season the tomatoes with sea salt and black pepper.
Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat until hot. Grill the skewers on the hot griddle, turning or flipping occasionally for around 5 minutes so that the halloumi has dark crispy grill marks on it and the cherry tomatoes are almost fit to blister and burst.
Remove from the pan and transfer to a serving plate. Using a box grater, zest the lime over the skewers and finally scatter the chopped mint all over.
