Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Grilled Halloumi and Vegetable Skewers with Tahini Sauce.
Step 1
Start by gathering a large bowl and adding in your halloumi cheese, diced eggplant, sliced red onion, vibrant red bell pepper, juicy cherry tomatoes, and crisp radishes.
Step 2
Drizzle a generous amount of olive oil and fresh lemon juice over the colorful mix, then sprinkle in some black pepper and aromatic ras el hanout for a burst of flavor.
Step 3
Gently toss everything together, ensuring each piece is well-coated, and let it marinate for about 15 minutes to allow those delicious flavors to meld together.
Step 4
While your ingredients are soaking up the goodness, preheat your grill to medium heat and give the grate a light oiling to keep everything from sticking.
Step 5
Now it’s time to assemble your skewers! Start by threading one piece of eggplant, followed by a chunk of bell pepper, a slice of onion, a cube of halloumi cheese, a cherry tomato, and a radish.
Step 6
Repeat this delightful order until all your ingredients are used up, and don’t forget to save any leftover marinade in the bowl for later.
Step 7
Once your skewers are ready, place them on the preheated grill.
Step 8
Brush them with the reserved marinade and turn them occasionally, letting them cook for about 10 to 15 minutes.
Step 9
You’ll know they’re done when the vegetables are tender and the halloumi has turned a beautiful golden brown.
Step 10
While the skewers are grilling, whip up a simple tahini sauce by mixing tahini and lemon juice in a small bowl until it’s smooth and creamy.
Step 11
When everything is ready, serve two skewers on each plate, drizzling them with your luscious tahini sauce.
Step 12
For a finishing touch, sprinkle some fresh cilantro and dukkah on top, and don’t forget to add lemon wedges on the side for an extra zing.
Step 13
Enjoy this vibrant and flavorful dish that’s perfect for any gathering or a cozy night in!.
