Step-by-step
- Soak the skewers in a bowl of cold water for 20 mins. Make the dressing: stir the tahini with the yogurt to make a smooth paste.
- Whisk in the garlic, olive oil and lemon juice with a few tbsp water, just enough to get the consistency of pouring cream. Stir in the chopped herbs. Season and add more lemon juice to taste.
- Thread the courgettes and halloumi pieces onto the skewers. Mix the chillies with 4 tbsp oil. Brush a little over the kebabs. Heat a griddle, non-stick frying pan or BBQ.
- Fry the kebabs, brushing with more oil and chilli and turning carefully every few mins, until the courgettes and halloumi are golden. Remove from the heat and drizzle over the dressing to serve.
