Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups cubed halloumi
2 cups cubed watermelon
Olive oil
Freshly cracked black pepper
Hot honey, to serve
Fresh mint leaves, to serve

Steps:

Set up your grill for direct heat by spreading the coals evenly along the bottom. On each skewer, alternately thread the halloumi and watermelon. Drizzle with olive oil and season with pepper. Place on the grill and char, about 1 minute. Flip and char the other side for 30 to 40 seconds. You are looking for grill marks on the watermelon and for the halloumi to get slightly soft. Remove to a platter and drizzle with hot honey. Sprinkle mint over the top and serve.
