Vegetable Souvlaki

New: Aug 2023

Ingredients
1 eggplant
1 1/2 yellow bell pepper
8 cherry tomatoes
1/2 red onion
200g halloumi cheese (7 ounces)
4 tbsps olive oil
juice of 1 lemon
1/2 tsp dried oregano
2 pita breads
4 metal or wooden skewers

Instructions
To make these delicious vegetable skewers (souvlaki), start by preparing the vegetables. Halve and deseed the peppers and cut in 2 cm chunks. Cut the red onion into wedges and roughly chop. Top and tail the eggplant, cut it in half and slice in 2 cm chunks.
Cut the halloumi cheese in 2 cm cubes and place in a large bowl. Add the veggies, drizzle with the olive oil and lemon juice, sprinkle with dried oregano and season. Mix well with your hands, so that all the flavours blend.
Assemble the vegetable skewers. Thread the vegetables and halloumi cheese, comfortably on the skewers, so that everything cooks evenly. If using wooden skewers, cut them to fit your griddle pan and soak them in water for 10 minutes. (This will prevent them from burning.)
Preheat a grill or griddle pan on a high heat. Grill the vegetable skewers for about 12 minutes, turning once on each side, until nicely coloured and softened. Don’t forget to to bast with any leftover marinade, as they cook.
In the meantime, warm the pita breads for a few minutes in the oven.
Serve these amazing vegetable skewers with the warm pita breads, some leafy greens and a big dollop of Greek yogurt. Enjoy!
