- 1 tbspSoy sauce

- 1 cloveGarlic(minced)
For the Mint Yogurt Dip
- 200 gGreek yogurt
- 0.25 cupFresh mint(chopped)
- 1 tbspLemon juice
- 1 pinchSalt(to taste)
- 1 pinchBlack pepper(freshly ground, to taste)
Equipment
- 8 countWooden skewers(soaked in water for 30 minutes if using)
Instructions
Prepare the Mint Yogurt Dip: In a small bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, chopped fresh mint, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Stir well until all ingredients are thoroughly mixed. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Prepare the Halloumi: Cut the halloumi cheese into 1-inch (2.5 cm) cubes. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
Thread the halloumi cubes onto the skewers. You should get about 4 cubes per skewer. Brush the halloumi skewers lightly with olive oil and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Prepare the Honey-Chili Glaze: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, Sriracha sauce, smoked paprika, and minced garlic until well combined.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375-400°F / 190-200°C). Clean and lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Grill the halloumi skewers for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and slightly charred. During the last 2 minutes of grilling, generously brush the skewers with the honey-chili glaze, turning them frequently to coat evenly and prevent burning.
Remove the grilled halloumi skewers from the grill. Serve immediately with the chilled Mint Yogurt Dip on the side. Enjoy your delicious meal!
💡 Tipp
Varianten
- Add cherry tomatoes or bell pepper chunks between halloumi cubes on the skewers for added vegetables and color.
- Experiment with different herbs in the yogurt dip, such as dill or cilantro.
- For a smoky flavor without a grill, you can cook these in a grill pan on the stovetop.
Ersatz & Alternativen
- If you don't have Sriracha, you can use a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of your favorite hot sauce.
- Greek yogurt can be substituted with plain regular yogurt, though the dip might be thinner.
- Smoked paprika can be replaced with regular paprika, but you'll lose the smoky undertone.
Aufbewahrung
Leftover grilled halloumi skewers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The mint yogurt dip can be stored separately for up to 3 days.
Einfrieren
Halloumi skewers are best enjoyed fresh and do not freeze well after grilling as the texture of the halloumi can change.
