Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Grilled Halloumi and Tomato Kebabs.
Step 1
To start, grab your food processor and blend together some olive oil and fresh basil leaves until they’re perfectly combined, creating a fragrant basil-infused oil.
Step 2
Next, take your cubed halloumi cheese and place it in a shallow bowl.
Step 3
Pour that delicious basil oil over the cheese, gently tossing it to ensure every piece is coated.
Step 4
Let this marinate for about an hour to allow those flavors to mingle beautifully.
Step 5
While the cheese is soaking up all that goodness, heat a small saucepan over medium heat and add balsamic vinegar and honey.
Step 6
Let it simmer for around seven minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.
Step 7
Once it’s ready, remove it from the heat and set it aside to cool.
Step 8
Now, it’s time to fire up your outdoor grill to a medium-high heat.
Step 9
After the halloumi has marinated, add some vibrant cherry tomatoes to the bowl and toss them with the cheese until they’re well coated in that aromatic oil.
Step 10
Grab some metal skewers and start threading the halloumi and cherry tomatoes onto them, alternating between the two for a colorful presentation.
Step 11
Place the skewers on your preheated grill and let them cook for about three minutes.
Step 12
Then, flip them over and grill for another three minutes until the halloumi is golden and the tomatoes are slightly charred, releasing their sweet juices.
Step 13
Once they’re done, transfer the skewers to a serving platter and drizzle that luscious balsamic reduction over the top.
Step 14
Serve them up immediately, and if you like, add a sprinkle of extra basil for a fresh touch.
Step 15
Enjoy this delightful dish that’s perfect for summer gatherings or a cozy night in!.
