Preparation

Halloumi's unique ability to hold its shape under high heat makes it the perfect vehicle for bold flavors. This recipe takes advantage of that quality, creating caramelized edges with a spicy-sweet glaze that's utterly addictive.

Preparation

1. Cut the halloumi into 1-inch cubes. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning. Thread 4-5 halloumi cubes onto each skewer.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the harissa paste, honey, and olive oil until well combined. This is your glaze.
3. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Brush the halloumi skewers generously with the harissa-honey mixture on all sides.
4. Grill the skewers for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown with distinct grill marks. Brush with additional glaze while cooking.
5. Remove from heat and immediately squeeze fresh lemon juice over the hot skewers. Serve warm with any remaining glaze on the side for dipping.

Serving suggestion: These skewers are incredible on their own, but they're also fantastic served over a simple arugula salad or with warm flatbread.
