The Method

1
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
2
Boil the Jersey Royal potatoes in salted water until they are just tender (about 10-15 minutes). Drain well and let them cool slightly.
3
While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the mint-yogurt dip. In a small bowl, combine the Jersey Milk natural yogurt, chopped fresh mint, and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir well and set aside.
4
Cut the halloumi cheese into roughly 2cm cubes. Once the potatoes have cooled slightly, cut them in half or quarters depending on their size, ensuring they are similar in size to the halloumi cubes.
5
Thread the potatoes, halloumi, courgette slices and red onion chunks onto the skewers, alternating ingredients. Aim for about 5-6 pieces per skewer.
6
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, melted Jersey butter and chopped fresh rosemary. Brush this mixture generously over the skewers, ensuring all sides are coated.
7
Grill the skewers for about 8-10 minutes, turning frequently, until the halloumi is golden brown and slightly softened, the potatoes are lightly browned, and the vegetables are tender. Be careful not to burn the halloumi.
8
Season the skewers with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately with the mint-yogurt dipping sauce.

Chef's Tips

For a smoky flavour, add a pinch of smoked paprika to the olive oil and rosemary mixture.

You can also grill the skewers on a barbecue for an authentic summery taste.

Experiment with other seasonal vegetables such as bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, or aubergine.

The mint-yogurt dip can be prepared ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator until ready to use. This will allow the flavours to meld together.
