About this recipe
Jerk Halloumi Skewers – Sweet, Salty and Spicy Caribbean BBQ Flavour
These Jerk Halloumi Skewers are colourful, fun and packed with flavour. Salty halloumi, sweet pineapple and juicy peppers are brushed with jerk sauce and grilled until golden, smoky and slightly charred.
They are perfect for BBQs, summer parties, vegetarian platters or quick weeknight dinners. The contrast between the creamy halloumi, caramelised pineapple and warming jerk spice makes every bite delicious.
Chef’s Tips
Do not cut the halloumi too small or it may split on the skewers.
Pineapple caramelises beautifully, so let it catch a little colour. Serve immediately while the halloumi is soft and warm.
Best Jerk Centre Sauce to Use
Taste from the Ancestors — the medium heat works perfectly with salty halloumi and sweet pineapple.
