Prep time

10 mins

Ingredients

  • Vegetable Oil: vegetable oil, for the grill
  • Lemon: lemon wedges or a few dashes of sherry vinegar, to serve
  • Sherry: 3 tbsp dry sherry
  • Halloumi: 2 x 250g blocks halloumi
  • Membrillo Paste: 6 tbsp (100g) membrillo paste or quince jelly

Directions

  1. Melt the membrillo and sherry together in a small pan until syrupy. Leave to cool slightly.
  2. Cutthe halloumi into long rectangular strips about 2cm wide, then in half again (where it naturally starts to separate) and thread onto thin skewers. Brush the halloumi generously with the glaze.
  3. Oil the bars of abarbecue, then light it and wait until the flames have died down and the coals are ashy white, or use an oiledgriddle panto stop the halloumi from sticking, then grill or griddle for 1-2 mins on each side until golden and charred. Turn only after the pieces of halloumi release themselves from the grill and it's easier to use tongs to pick up the cheese, rather than handling the skewers. Squeeze over a little lemon, or drizzle with the sherry vinegar to serve.
