Naturally sweet dates become almost fudge-like as they caramelize on the grill. The addition of salty halloumi and crunchy pistachios balance out this sweet-savory dessert kebab.
Ingredients
SERVINGS: 6 Serving(s)
- 2 8-ounce blocks halloumi cheese, room temperature, each cut into 8 to make 16 cubes total
- 16 dates, pitted
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1/4 cup pistachios, finely chopped
Instructions
Heat grill to medium-high heat.
Prepare skewers by alternating pieces of halloumi and dates, 2 pieces of each per skewer.
Brush lightly with olive oil and place a flat side on the grill. Flip skewers after 3 minutes and grill the other side for an additional 3 minutes or until dates are evenly charred and halloumi has a browned crust.
Remove from heat and place on a serving platter. Drizzle with honey and sprinkle with pistachios.
