Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 450 g halloumi, cut into 3cm pieces
  • 420 g tin apricot halves, drained (or 8 fresh apricots, halved and stoned)
  • 2 small red onions, cut into wedges
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp good-quality honey (ideally a floral one)
  • 1 tsp pul biber or chili flakes
  • 40 g shelled pistachios, chopped for garnish
  • metal skewers

Method
 

  1. Thread the halloumi pieces, apricot halves, and onion wedges onto skewers. Stir together the oil, 1 tbsp of the honey, and the chili flakes. Season with salt and pepper, then brush the glaze over the skewers.
  2. Cook on the barbecue over direct heat for 10-12 minutes, turning every few minutes, and brushing with more glaze as needed until charred and soft. Meanwhile, toast the pistachios.
  3. Finely chop the toasted pistachios. Drizzle the skewers with the remaining honey and sprinkle with the pistachios.

Notes

Serve with cumin-butter flatbreads for a complete meal.
