1 To make the marinade, combine all ingredients except lemons in a
large bowl. Grate over the zest of 2 lemons, then add the juice of all
3, and stir to combine. Add the haloumi and focaccia, mix gently, then
cover with clingfilm and pop in the fridge for an hour.
2 Spear a focaccia cube onto a skewer, follow with a cube of haloumi,
then thread on a ribbon of courgette so it resembles a concertina. Add
another haloumi cube, a piece of pepper and finish with a tomato.
Repeat with remaining skewers and ingredients.
3 Heat a griddle pan to medium, drizzle with oil, then fry kebabs,
turning, for 5–10 minutes, till golden-brown. Serve hot from the pan
with bread and salad.
