BBQ Food! Jersey Royal And Halloumi Rosemary Skewers

Serves 6

Preparation Time: 15 minutes

Cooking Time:  10-15 minutes

Ingredients

The mint oil

• 25g fresh mint, leaves only
• 150ml extra virgin olive oil
• Sea salt
• Coarsely ground black pepper

The skewers

• 4 x straight woody stems of rosemary around 25cm long
• 500g Jersey Royal new potatoes, scrubbed (not peeled) and cut in half
• 360g halloumi cheese, cut into 3cm cubes
• 1 medium aubergine, cut into 3cm cubes
• 200g cherry tomatoes
• Sea salt
• Coarsely ground black pepper

Method

The mint oil

• Add all the ingredients to the food processor and process for 1-2 minutes until smooth.

The skewers

• Add the potatoes, halloumi, aubergine and tomatoes to the mint oil. Mix well to ensure that everything is evenly coated.
• Strip the base rosemary leaves from each stem, leaving the top 4cm of each with leaves.
• Thread alternate potato, halloumi, aubergine and tomatoes along each stem and continue until everything is used up.
• Preheat the barbecue or grill.
• Cover the leave tops of the rosemary skewers with a sheet of tin foil to prevent them burning.
• Grill or barbecue the skewers over a medium heat for about 10-15 minutes, turning regularly until the potatoes are cooked through and the vegetables are golden. Baste occasionally with the mint oil.
• Serve with a drizzle of remaining mint oil.

Cook’s Tip
For well and truly minted skewers, prepare the mint oil a few hours before and leave the ingredients to marinate beforehand.
