Grilled Halloumi and green asparagus skewers
| 500 g | fresh green asparagus |
| 250 g | Halloumi cheese |
Dip
| 2 tbsp | orange juice |
| 1 tsp | orange zest |
| 1 tbsp | white wine vinegar |
| 2 tbsp | olive oil |
| 1/4 tsp | salt |
| freshly ground | black pepper |
| 1/2 tsp | SteviaSweet Crystal |
Serve with
| soaked wooden skewers | |
| small salads or cress | |
Soak the Halloumi in cold water. (This reduces the salt content in the cheese.)
Remove the woody ends of the asparagus, then cut the remaining asparagus in half. In a pan, bring salted water to boil and cook the asparagus for a few minutes. Drain the hot water and then briefly rinse the asparagus under cold water.
Allow the Halloumi to drain and cut it into eight evenly-sized pieces. Put two pieces of Halloumi and six asparagus pieces on each skewer. Combine all ingredients for the dip.
Grill the Halloumi and asparagus skewers for about 2 to 3 minutes on both sides or until the cheese is hot.
Plate the skewers and top with the orange dip. Then garnish with salad or cress.
