Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 225 grams Chorizo sausage (cooked or semi-cured)
- 225 grams Halloumi cheese
- 1 Red bell pepper
- 1 Yellow bell pepper
- 1 medium Zucchini
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 8 Wooden skewers (soaked in water for 20 minutes)
Instructions
If using semi-cured chorizo, slice it into 2.5 cm (1 inch) thick rounds. If using fully cooked chorizo, slice it slightly thinner to ensure even cooking.
Cut the halloumi cheese into 2.5 cm (1 inch) cubes.
Deseed the red and yellow bell peppers, then cut them into 2.5 cm (1 inch) squares.
Slice the zucchini into 0.5 cm (1/4 inch) thick rounds.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, honey, smoked paprika, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Thread the chorizo, halloumi, bell peppers, and zucchini onto the soaked wooden skewers, alternating ingredients to create an appealing visual pattern.
Brush the skewers generously with the prepared marinade, ensuring all ingredients are coated evenly.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat.
Grill the skewers for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and slightly charred, the halloumi is golden, and the chorizo is warmed through.
Transfer the cooked skewers to a serving platter and serve immediately as an appetizer or alongside a fresh salad.
