Recently I fell in love in haloumi cheese cooked on the BBQ. It's a healthy enough cheese, specialy when it goes together with a bunch of veggies.
In this simple recipe wanted to show how to cook different ingredients on one ( well... on two) skewers. I cut halloumi and veggies into big chunks so I could get bigger surface on them for grilling. I cooked them on two skewers for a better stability during bbquing.
To have my sweet potato chunks ready with the rest of ingredients I blanched them in salted water for 2 minutes before skewering.
When kebabs were ready I brushed then with herb olive oil and served it with good quality hummus ( optional).
