Method

  1. Thinly slice your vegetables lengthways to about 5mm thickness.
  2. Salt vegetables and leave for 5-10 minutes then dab the water off with paper towel. This will remove excess water, prevent them from soaking up oil and make the vegetables more moist.
  3. Heat a fry pan on medium heat, add some oil and fry the vegetables until slightly brown and soft.
  4. Cut the halloumi block into 10 bite size pieces approximately 2cm x 2cm thick.
  5. Fry the halloumi on the same pan until lightly golden.
  6. Wrap each halloumi piece with your aubergine/courgette and place a toothpick in the center to hold it in place.
  7. Mix oil, honey and lemon juice then drizzle over the pigs in a blanket and season with some pepper.
  8. Transfer to a plate and garnish with herbs and serve as a starter.
