Equipment

Ingredients

2 x 225 g (16 oz) packs halloumi each pack cut into 6 thick fingers
spray oil I use olive oil or rapeseed oil

Sweet chilli sauce:

100 ml (3.4 floz) cold water
20 ml (4 tsp) white wine vinegar
50 g (1.8 oz) white granulated sugar
2 red chillis 1 deseeded and both finely chopped
1 clove garlic crushed
0.5 tsp fine sea salt

Instructions

Make the sauce first – add all the ingredients for the sauce into a small saucepan and bring to the boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes, stirring frequently. Transfer the sauce to a small bowl to cool.
Heat a large frying pan, skillet, griddle pan or BBQ over a high heat. Spray lightly with oil, reduce the heat to medium high, then cook the halloumi fingers for 2 minutes on each side, until nicely charred. Remove the cooked halloumi onto a plate or board. Thread a small wooden skewer through one end of each finger.
Brush both sides of the halloumi fingers with some sweet chilli sauce, transfer to a serving platter and spoon some more sauce over them. Serve with any sauce that’s left!

Notes

Garnishes – try garnishing with chopped fresh coriander, sesame seeds, spring onions, chilli flakes or a squeeze of lime, if you like.
