Ingredients you'll need
  • 4 skewers
  • 150g bulgar wheat
  • 200g halloumi
  • 1 tsp harissa paste
  • 1 red onion
  • 250g cherry vine tomatoes
  • 50g peppery salad mix
  • 40g honey
From your kitchen
  • 300ml boiling water
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Sea salt
  • Freshly ground pepper
You'll need
  • Measuring jug
  • Baking tray
Step by step this way
  • 1.

    Put the skewers in a bowl or dish of water – this will help stop them catching and burning when you grill the halloumi. Fill your kettle and boil it.

  • 2.

    Tip the bulgar wheat into a heatproof bowl and pour in 300ml hot water from the kettle. Swirl to mix, then cover the bowl with a plate and set aside to soak. The bulgar will absorb the water and become tender.

  • 3.

    Drain the halloumi and chop it into bite-sized chunks. Place in a bowl and add 1 tsp of the harissa paste (it's spicy, so you can use less, if you prefer), ½ tbsp olive oil and a pinch of black pepper. Turn the halloumi to coat it in the harissa. Set aside to marinate for 5 mins.

  • 4.

    Peel the red onion and slice into 8 wedges. Line a baking tray with foil and arrange the cherry vine tomatoes on the tray. Heat your grill to high.

  • 5.

    Thread the halloumi and red onion wedges onto the skewers, then place them on the baking tray. Slide the tray under the grill and cook the skewers for 6-8 mins, turning once, till the halloumi is golden brown and the onion wedges are charred. The tomatoes will be soft and just bursting.

  • 6.

    While the halloumi grills, toss the salad leaves with ½ tbsp oil and a pinch of salt and pepper.

  • 7.

    Drain any excess water off the bulgar wheat and divide it between 2 warm plates. Top with the salad leaves, grilled halloumi skewers and cherry vine tomatoes. Drizzle over the honey and serve.
