• Zest and halve the lemons, then mix the zest with the parsley and a squeeze of juice. Set aside.
• To cook the skewers, simply place over hot coals and turn two or three times - they will take 5-10 mins to cook. Char the lemon halves, cut side down, at the same time. Serve lemons alongside skewers for squeezing over, scattered with the parsley mixture.

MEMBRILLO-GLAZED HALLOUMI SKEWERS

Steps:

• Melt the membrillo and sherry together in a small pan until syrupy. Leave to cool slightly.
• Cut the halloumi into long rectangular strips about 2cm wide, then in half again (where it naturally starts to separate) and thread onto thin skewers. Brush the halloumi generously with the glaze.
• Oil the bars of a barbecue, then light it and wait until the flames have died down and the coals are ashy white, or use an oiled griddle pan to stop the halloumi from sticking, then grill or griddle for 1-2 mins on each side until golden and charred. Turn only after the pieces of halloumi release themselves from the grill and it's easier to use tongs to pick up the cheese, rather than handling the skewers. Squeeze over a little lemon, or drizzle with the sherry vinegar to serve.

TAMARIND SQUASH & HALLOUMI SKEWERS

Steps:

• Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil. Add the squash and cook for 10-15 mins or until slightly tender (if you're going to cook the squash in a griddle pan, boil for an extra few mins as it's not as fierce as a barbecue). Drain and set aside.
• To make the marinade, whisk the tamarind with 2 tbsp boiling water. Once dissolved, whisk together with the soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, lime zest and juice, chilli and brown sugar. Keep whisking until the sugar has dissolved, then season to taste.
• In a large bowl, toss together the squash, halloumi, marinade and herbs. Allow to marinate for at least 1 hr. Once marinated, alternately thread the squash and halloumi onto the skewers. Drizzle with a little of the remaining marinade.
• If barbecuing, put the skewers directly on the BBQ and cook for 3-4 mins on each side or until lightly charred, brushing with the marinade as they cook. Alternatively, heat a griddle pan until really hot and cook the skewers for 5 mins on either side. Serve immediately.
