Barbecued broccoli, cauliflower & halloumi

To make our broccoli, cauliflower, halloumi, and couscous dish, turn on the grill. It's a simple summer dinner that everyone can enjoy.

Ingredients

2 tomatoes, finely chopped

1 lemon, juiced

½ red onion, finely chopped

1 tsp cider vinegar

1 cauliflower, cut into florets, stalks cut into 5cm pieces

2 tsp dried oregano

1 broccoli, cut into florets, stalks cut into 5cm pieces

1 tsp smoked paprika

3 tsp olive oil

cooked couscous, to serve (optional)

450g halloumi, cut into 2.5cm cubes

Method

In a bowl, mix together the tomatoes, onion, lemon juice, cider vinegar, half of the dried oregano, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.

Start up the grill. Bring a pan of water to a boil and cook the broccoli stalk pieces and cauliflower florets for 3 minutes. The broccoli florets should be added in the last minute. 

Drain the vegetables, then toss them with 2 tsp of the olive oil, the rest of the oregano, and the paprika.

When the coals are gray, put the pieces of vegetables on the grill, let them cook for 2 minutes, and then move them to a cooler part of the grill. Move the vegetables around so they don't burn.

Put the halloumi on the grill and turn it over after 1 minute. Keep doing this until every side is browned.

Put all the vegetables and halloumi in a bowl, drizzle with the rest of the olive oil, season, and serve right away with couscous.

Information

Broccoli :

Broccoli is a vegetable that is good for your health in a lot of ways. It's an important part of the Mediterranean diet, and people usually eat it as a side dish or salad to help their bodies digest.

This article gives a summary of some of broccoli's health benefits and tells people what they should know about it and how to cook it.

Tomatoes :

Tomatoes are good for you, taste good, and are used in many different dishes. People think of them as the most important vegetable.

There are more than 4,000 different kinds of tomatoes in the world, and they have been around for thousands of years. 

It is not known for sure where the tomato came from, but it is thought to have come from Central and South America. In 1493, Christopher Columbus was the first person to bring tomatoes to Europe.

Lemons :

A lemon is a fruit that tastes sour and acidic. 

It is made when the ovary of a big citrus tree, like an orange or lime, gets too ripe and bursts, letting the seeds out.

Any citrus fruit with an acidic taste in its juice is called a "lemon." Lemon trees usually grow in warmer places because their flowers smell like kerosene and are very fragrant.

Lemon trees can be grown by planting lemon seeds in water or soil and then giving them as much sunlight as possible. This is another type of plant that does best in full sun.

Olive oil :

Olive oil is something that's been around for a very long time. It has been used for many things, like food, medicine, and beauty products.

Olive oil is a liquid fat made from crushed olives or olives that have been treated in other ways to improve their taste or color.

 In Mediterranean cooking, olive oil can be used as a cooking oil, a salad dressing, or a main dish.

Due to its monounsaturated fat content, olive oil can help prevent heart disease.

 It can also lower cholesterol levels and improve triglycerides. 

Olive oil is also thought to slow down the aging process by protecting the skin from the sun and making wrinkles and skin cancer less likely.
