Grilled Vegetable & Halloumi Skewers For The Braai

At Medshield, we’re here to support and help our members to live a healthy lifestyle. At Medshield Movement, we have loads of healthy, easy-to-make recipes that are not only good for you, but taste great too! This summer, we’ve got some sizzling recipes that will be great on the braai, like these grilled veggie and halloumi skewers!

These vegetarian skewers are easy to make and offer a great healthy alternative to fatty meats. Either add them as a supplement to your usual braai or as the main and rope the children in to make them! Just remember to soak your skewers in water first, to prevent burning.

Notes:
You can swap out the veggies for any of your other favourites, like button mushrooms, aubergine slices or patty pans.
Make this recipe vegan by swapping the halloumi cheese out for cubes of marinated tofu.
Add more or less veggies depending on the numbers you’d like to feed.

What You Need:
         For the skewers:

  • Pre-soaked wooden skewers
  • 1 large red pepper, cut into 2cm pieces
  • 1 large yellow pepper, cut into 2cm pieces
  • 2-3 medium-large courgettes (baby marrows), cut into 1-2cm rounds
  • 500-600g halloumi, cut into 2-3cm squares
  • Rosa tomatoes
  • Red onion slices (optional)
    Basting:
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Juice and zest of 1 lemon
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 clove garlic, finely minced
  • Pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper

Method:

1/ Prepare and chop all your veggies and set aside in a bowl. Place the halloumi slices ina  separate bowl.

2/ In a small bowl, whisk together the basting ingredients and set aside.

3/ Pour half of the basting sauce over the halloumi, toss to coat and set aside for about 15 minutes.

4/ Start to prep your skewers by alternating veggies with halloumi. For example: cherry tomato, pepper square, halloumi cube, courgette slice and a slice of red onion.

5/ Place the skewers on the braai and grill for about 10–12 minutes, turning every few minutes to ensure even charring. Brush the skewers with basting as they cook. Once the skewers are slightly charred and the halloumi is golden, remove from the heat and enjoy!
