Now, when barby comes out, there is normally only one thing on the menu; Annie's super tasty Halloumi BBQ kebabs. Oh yeh, I have got hidden talents you know, and not only that, I am going to be proper saintly and share my receipe with you. I guarantee that burgers and sausages will be banned forthwith once you have tasted these kebabs. Not only that, but they are super healthy to boot, so you can scoff as many as you like without turning into a blob. Everyone's a winner!
Ingredients - Annie's Super Tasty Halloumi Kebabs
Feeds 3 (just to be really awkward)
1 green pepper, or capsicum as it is know in the US (cut into large chunks)
1 medium sized onion (cut into large chunks)
3 large vine tomatoes (each cut into six segments)
3 rashers of bacon (cut into large squares)
125g mushrooms (halved)
250g Halloumi cheese (cut into 2cm slices) - this is the killer ingredient - just you wait until it's grilled!
6 plain pitta breads
9 skewers
1 glass of wine to drink whilst you are preparing the food
Method
Chop up the ingredients as described above.
Pic.No.1.Tasty and healthy? It's gotta be a con.... but no, it's not
Then randomly feed all the ingredients onto skewers. Be careful putting the Halloumi onto the kebabs because it has a tendency to split if you aren't gentle. And trust me, you don't want to be screwing up the Halloumi because it is the best bit.
Pic.No.2. Hang on a minute, that wine's gone down a bit.... what's going on? [uh oh, I've been sprung]
Put the kebabs onto the barbeque and cook through.
Pic.No.3. Would you believe that it took me an hour to get the bloody thing lit?
Finally, once the kebabs are cooked, keep them warm in the oven and then heat the pitta breads on the BBQ until lightly browned.
You are now ready to serve: 3 kebabs for every two pitta breads.
Everything would have gone swimmingly if the BBQ hadn't taken so long to heat up. I kept topping up my wine glass and by the time my kebabs were ready, I couldn't see them properly.
I think (but don't quote me), that I had two pittas, but I could equally have had four.... I dunno...... I just know it's not a good idea to kill time drinking white wine whilst you are waiting for the barby to heat up. Enjoy.

That recipe looks very good. I use cheese in other grilled recipes and you are right, it IS the key ingredient. I will definitely try this, and on your advice...save the wine until after the cooking is done :)
They look delicious. I do hope you were careful with those sharp kebab sticks after your fourteen pints of Pinot.
