The sweet touch of the honey sauce paired with the natural saltiness of halloumi is completely insane in your mouth. The slightly smoky side that comes from the paprika added to the marinade, the Mediterranean notes of fresh thyme and oregano, the lemon zest that wakes everything up. Every bite explodes. This is honestly the best halloumi I&#8217;ve ever eaten and I say that with complete objectivity, since the day I perfected this recipe.<\/p>\n<h3>\ud83c\udf6f The double sauce: half marinade, half serving<\/h3>\n<p>My game-changing trick is to make the sauce in DOUBLE quantity right from the start and divide it into two equal portions. One half serves as marinade for the skewers (30 minutes at room temperature, never more than 45 min or the acidity of the lemon starts to denature the texture). The other half stays at room temperature to GENEROUSLY coat the hot grilled halloumi when serving. It&#8217;s this fresh uncooked sauce at the end, with the fresh herbs added on top, that makes all the difference between decent skewers and mind-blowing skewers.<\/p>\n<h3>\ud83d\udd25 Appetizer, starter or BBQ side dish<\/h3>\n<p>You can serve this as an elegant appetizer for entertaining, as a refined starter before a main course, or as a substantial side dish for pretty much any grilled meat. It&#8217;s quick, it&#8217;s versatile, it&#8217;s delicious. You can serve on a bed of arugula, with grilled pita bread, or paired with my <a href=\"https:\/\/lecoupdegrace.ca\/en\/recipe\/grilled-piri-piri-chicken-thighs-on-the-bbq\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">grilled piri-piri chicken thighs on the bbq<\/a> for a halloumi + meat combo that brings everyone together at the table.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My grilled halloumi skewers on the BBQ with homemade honey, thyme, lemon and smoked paprika sauce.
