Macadamia & Honey Haloumi Skewers
/Recipe By Courtney Roulston
Ingredients
2 x 180 g packets halloumi cheese
2 tbs extra virgin olive oil
2 tbs Coles Australian honey
¾ cup macadamia nuts, crushed or finely chopped
½ tsp whole fennel seeds, crushed
¼ cup white sesame seeds, toasted
1 tsp fresh dill, finely chopped
2 tsp lemon zest, plus lemon cheeks to serve
½ Coles long red chilli, finely chopped (or can be dried chilli)
sea salt and black pepper to taste
Method
Combine the crushed macadamia nuts, fennel seeds, sesame seeds, dill, lemon zest, chilli, salt and black pepper in a large shallow bowl.
Cut each block of halloumi into 6 rectangular fingers and thread the skewers through the middle of each piece of cheese.
Heat a frying pan over a medium-high heat. Brush the halloumi with a little oil and grill for 2 minutes each side, or until golden and warmed through. Remove the pan from the heat and drizzle with honey to get a sticky coating on the outside.
Roll the skewers through the macadamia mixture so they have a nice even crust on the outside. Place the skewers onto a serving plate and serve warm with lemon cheeks on the side.
