Marinated Courgette, Red Pepper and Halloumi Kebabs

Preparation Time: 15 minutes plus marinade

Cooking Time: 25 minutes

Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 3-4 medium courgettes
• 1 red pepper
• 225g halloumi cheese
• olive oil
• juice of 1 lemon
• 1 handful mint leaves, chopped
• 1 handful oregano, marjoram or thyme leaves, chopped
• salt + pepper

Instructions

1. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least one hour before using.
2. Cut the courgettes into 2cm slices, or, if the courgettes are fat, cut them in half lengthways then into 3cm slices. Oil a baking tray, add the courgette slices and turn until they’re lightly coated with oil.
3. Bake in an oven, preheated to 170˚C/gas 3 for 10-15 minutes, until soft but with some give. Deseed the pepper and cut into 4 or 6 strips. Heat a frying or griddle pan with a little olive oil and cook the pepper pieces on both sides until fairly soft. Cut the peppers into bite size pieces. Cut the cheese into cubes the same size as or slightly smaller than the courgette pieces.
4. To make the marinade combine 1-2 tbsp olive oil, lemon juice, herbs, salt and pepper. Place the cheese, courgettes and peppers in a bowl and mix in the marinade. Leave for up to 3 hours then thread onto skewers, starting with a piece of courgette and alternating the different ingredients. Cook on a barbecue or hot grill for approx 5-7 minutes on each side, until the halloumi is lightly scorched. Serve drizzled with a little more of the marinade if leftover. Scatter over some freshly chopped herbs.
