Ingredients
- 1 medium aubergine, cut into 2cm cubes
- 2 x 250g packs halloumi, cut into 2cm cubes
- 24 cherry tomatoes
- 1tbsp lemon juice
- 2tbsp olive oil

Method
1 Put the aubergine cubes in layers in a colander or sieve, generously sprinkling each layer with salt. Set aside for 30 minutes, rinse with cold water and pat dry with kitchen paper.
2 Put the aubergine in a bowl and add the halloumi and cherry tomatoes. Mix together the remaining ingredients in a separate bowl to make a dressing. Pour over the vegetables and halloumi, and gently toss. Cover and chill in the fridge until required.
3 When you’re ready to barbecue, thread the aubergine cubes, whole cherry tomatoes and halloumi in turns onto each pre-soaked skewer. Brush all over with the lemon and rosemary dressing and cook over hot coals for about 5 minutes, turning frequently, until tender and lightly charred. Serve immediately.
