Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 24 asparagus stalks, ends trimmed, cut into 8cm lengths
  • 500 gm haloumi
  • For brushing and drizzling: extra-virgin olive oil
  • ½ tsp each dried chilli flakes and dried mint
  • To serve: mint and lemon wedges

Instruction

  • Blanch asparagus until bright green and just tender (30 seconds-1 minute), refresh, then pat dry on absorbent paper.
  • Cut haloumi into 1cm-thick slices, then halve each slice lengthways to form a piece about the same size as the asparagus. Thread asparagus and haloumi alternately onto bamboo or metal skewers and set aside.
  • Heat a char-grill pan (or barbecue) over medium-high heat. Brush asparagus and haloumi with olive oil and char-grill, turning occasionally, until haloumi is golden and asparagus is tender (3-4 minutes). Scatter with chilli, dried mint and fresh mint, drizzle with oil, and serve with lemon wedges.
