Chorizo And Halloumi Skewers Recipe

Fire up the grill for these irresistible Chorizo and Halloumi Skewers! Inspired by Australian Super Food Ideas magazine, this recipe is perfect for a picnic or a backyard BBQ. Juicy chorizo and salty halloumi are threaded onto skewers with vibrant olives (we suggest Kalamata or a mix of Kalamata and pimento-stuffed green olives – get creative!), then brushed with oil and grilled to perfection. A zesty lemon-herb topping adds the finishing touch. Prepare ahead – make these up to step 1 for easy BBQ cooking later!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
