Halloumi, apricot and pistachio skewers

Halloumi is always a crowdpleaser at barbecues; here crispy-chewy-creamy chunks of the cheese are paired with lightly charred onion and apricot halves, which sweeten up wonderfully over the coals. Turn these skewers into a filling summer dinner by serving them with easy cumin-butter flatbreads.

Method

Thread the halloumi pieces, apricot halves and onion wedges onto skewers. Stir together the oil, 1 tbsp of the honey and the chilli flakes, then season with salt and pepper. Brush the glaze over the skewers.
Cook on the barbecue over direct heat for 10-12 minutes, turning every few minutes and brushing with more of the glaze as needed, until charred and soft. Meanwhile, toast the pistachios in a small roasting tin alongside (keep an eye on them).
Finely chop the toasted pistachios. Drizzle the skewers with the remaining honey and sprinkle with the pistachios.
