Ingredients
Serves 6
- 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
- ¼ 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.
