Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole Red bell peppers
- 2 whole Zucchini
- 1 large Red onions
- 250 g Halloumi cheese
- 200 g Cherry tomatoes
- 60 ml Olive oil
- 30 ml Lemon juice
- 2 tsp Dried oregano
- 2 whole Garlic cloves
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 8 whole Wooden skewers
- 250 g Greek yogurt
- 0.5 whole Cucumber
- 1 tbsp Fresh dill
Instructions
Soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.
Cut the red bell peppers, zucchini, and halloumi cheese into 1-inch cubes. Slice the red onion into 1-inch wedges.
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, dried oregano, minced garlic cloves, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Add the bell peppers, zucchini, red onion, cherry tomatoes, and halloumi cheese to the marinade. Toss well to coat all the ingredients. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Preheat a grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated vegetables and halloumi onto the soaked skewers, alternating them for a colorful presentation.
Grill the skewers for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and slightly charred, and the halloumi is golden brown.
While the skewers are grilling, prepare the yogurt sauce. Grate the half cucumber and squeeze out the excess water.
In a small bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, and fresh dill. Add a pinch of salt to taste.
Serve the grilled skewers hot, accompanied by the refreshing yogurt sauce on the side.
