Macadamia & Honey Haloumi Skewers

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.
