Sweet, juicy watermelon with salty, barbecued haloumi. This video recipe shows each step of the process with helpful tips.

Preparation time: 20 mins
Cooking time: 20 mins
Serves: 8

Ingredients:
2 x 180g packets haloumi
16 x 16cm bamboo skewers, soaked [WOW Essentials range]
Woolworths Select Australian extra virgin olive oil 
½ small seedless watermelon, rind removed, cut into 32 x 2.5cm cubes
60g Woolworths fresh baby rocket leaves 
45g (1/3 cup) pistachio dukkah 
1/2 cup fresh small mint leaves, to garnish
2 fresh lemons, cut into wedges, to serve

Method:
1. Remove the haloumi from the packets, pat dry, leave at room temperature for 15 minutes. Cut each block haloumi into sixteen cubes (about 2cm each) so you have 32 cubes total. Thread haloumi onto soaked bamboo skewers. Brush with olive oil.
2. Preheat barbecue plate to medium heat. Place a sheet of baking paper onto the hot plate then barbecue haloumi skewers, in batches, turning until cheese softens and lightly charred. Remove to a large tray. Thread a piece of watermelon onto each end of the skewer. 
3. Scatter rocket onto serving platter. Top with skewers. Spoon over half the dukkah. Top with mint leaves, drizzle with olive oil. Serve with remaining dukkah and lemon wedges.

Tip 1: Haloumi will not split when skewered if its at room temperature 
Tip 2: The baking paper stops the haloumi from sticking to the barbecue. For individual serves; divide rocket and skewers between 8 plates, slide the watermelon and haloumi off the skewers. Toss with rocket, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with extra dukkah. Serve with lemon wedges. 
Tip 3: Any leftover dukkah is delicious sprinkled over poached eggs for breakfast.
