Ingredients

• 225 grams Chorizo sausage (cooked or semi-cured)
• 225 grams Halloumi cheese
• 1 Red bell pepper
• 1 Yellow bell pepper
• 1 medium Zucchini
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 8 Wooden skewers (soaked in water for 20 minutes)

Directions

Step 1

If using semi-cured chorizo, slice it into 2.5 cm (1 inch) thick rounds. If using fully cooked chorizo, slice it slightly thinner to ensure even cooking.

Step 2

Cut the halloumi cheese into 2.5 cm (1 inch) cubes.

Step 3

Deseed the red and yellow bell peppers, then cut them into 2.5 cm (1 inch) squares.

Step 4

Slice the zucchini into 0.5 cm (1/4 inch) thick rounds.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, honey, smoked paprika, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 6

Thread the chorizo, halloumi, bell peppers, and zucchini onto the soaked wooden skewers, alternating ingredients to create an appealing visual pattern.

Step 7

Brush the skewers generously with the prepared marinade, ensuring all ingredients are coated evenly.

Step 8

Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat.

Step 9

Grill the skewers for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and slightly charred, the halloumi is golden, and the chorizo is warmed through.

Step 10

Transfer the cooked skewers to a serving platter and serve immediately as an appetizer or alongside a fresh salad.
