Ingredients
-
250g lactose-free halloumi, cut into cubes
-
1 red bell pepper, cut into chunks
-
1 yellow bell pepper, cut into chunks
-
1 courgette, sliced into thick rounds
-
1 red onion, cut into wedges
-
8-10 cherry tomatoes
-
2 tablespoons olive oil
-
1 tablespoon lemon juice
-
1 teaspoon dried oregano
-
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
-
Salt and pepper, to taste
-
Fresh parsley for garnish
Directions
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, dried oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
Thread the halloumi cubes, bell peppers, courgette slices, red onion wedges, and cherry tomatoes onto wooden or metal skewers, alternating between the halloumi and vegetables.
Brush the skewers with the marinade and let them sit for about 15-20 minutes to soak up the flavours. If you have time, marinate for up to 1 hour in the fridge for deeper flavour.
Preheat a grill or griddle pan to medium-high heat. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side until the halloumi is golden and slightly crispy, and the vegetables are tender and charred.
Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve with a side of couscous, quinoa, or a fresh green salad. Add some lactose-free tzatziki for dipping if desired.
Recipe Note
Tzatziki made with lactose-free yogurt for dipping
For a more filling meal, serve the halloumi skewers over a bed of quinoa or couscous, and drizzle with a little olive oil and lemon juice for extra freshness. You can also swap the vegetables based on what’s in season or your personal preferences!
