This dish is just fabulous on the bbq as well as being roasted in the oven. It appears at most of my bbqs and disappears quickly, even amongst the meat eaters. They are very easy to put together and easier to eat! I used halloumi cheese but have also experimented with feta which was just as nice. You could have these as a main with salad, or as a veggie side dish. I just love how the lemon, garlic, thyme and mint combine to give a fresh flavour to the halloumi.
INGREDIENTS
6 red peppers
2 tblspn olive oil
3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
250g halloumi cheese, sliced thinly
12 mint leaves
grated rind and juice of 1 lemon
1 tblspn fresh thyme, chopped
METHOD
- Preheat the oven to 200C/400F degrees.
- Cut the peppers in half lengthways and remove the core and seeds. Rub the skins of the peppers with a little of the oil, then arrange them skin side down on a large, greased baking tray.
- Scatter half the garlic into the peppers, add the cheese, then the mint leaves, lemon rind, remaining garlic and thyme. Drizzle over the remaining oil and lemon juice.
- Roast for 30 minutes until tender and beginning to char around the edges.
- Eat and enjoy!
One of my favourites, especially on the bbq….(“;)
