Ingredients

  • 1/2 pound halloumi cheese cut into 24 pieces
  • 3 zucchini small, sliced lengthwise with a vegetable peeler
  • 16 dried apricots
  • 8 slices bacon cut in 1/2 lengthwise
  • 1 onion peeled and finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic peeled and finely chopped
  • 2 red chilies deseeded and finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 1/2 pounds meat ground lamb

Method

  • Soak the wooden skewers for at least 1 hour. Place a piece of Halloumi at one end of a courgette slice, roll up and thread onto a metal skewer. Repeat, so that each metal skewer has 3 Halloumi rolls on it.
  • Wrap each apricot in a slice of bacon. Set aside.
  • Place the onion in a large bowl with the garlic, chili, honey, nutmeg, cinnamon and mince. Knead until smooth. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Shape into 16 wide and slightly flattened sausage shapes. Thread onto the wooden skewers with a bacon wrapped apricot.
  • Grill or barbecue the skewers for 10-15 mins, turning occasionally, until cooked through.
