Grilled Vegetable & Halloumi Skewers with Couscous

Ingredients

Quantities are for 4 servings.

• 10 oz Halloumi cheese
• 2 each Zucchini
• 1 each Red bell pepper
• 1 each Red onion
• 1 pint Cherry tomatoes
• 3 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 1/2 cups Couscous
• 1 each Lemon
• 1 package Fresh mint or parsley
• 1 pack Wooden skewers

Instructions

1. Soak the wooden skewers in water for 20 minutes. Cut the halloumi into 1-inch cubes and the zucchini, bell pepper, and onion into similarly sized pieces.
2. Thread the halloumi, vegetables, and cherry tomatoes onto the skewers, alternating pieces. Brush all over with 2 tablespoons olive oil and season with salt and pepper (go light on salt — halloumi is already salty).
3. Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill to medium-high heat. Grill the skewers 8-10 minutes, turning every 2-3 minutes, until the vegetables are tender and lightly charred and the halloumi is golden with grill marks on each side.
4. Meanwhile, prepare the couscous according to package directions, then fluff with a fork and stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and the juice of the lemon.
5. Chop the mint or parsley and stir most of it into the couscous, saving a little for garnish.
6. Serve the skewers over the couscous, sprinkled with the remaining herbs.
