Ingredients

2 zucchini, cut into 3cm lengths
1 large red capsicum, cut into 3cm squares
2 punnets cherry tomatoes
Olive oil spray
200g haloumi, sliced 1cm-thick
2 x 250g pkts microwave brown rice
Juice of 1/2 lemon
200g low-fat Greek-style yoghurt
1 teaspoon tahini (sesame paste) (see note)
1 small garlic clove, crushed
1 tablespoon chopped mint, plus extra
Mint leaves to garnish

Method

1 Soak 8 bamboo skewers in boiling water for 10 minutes, or use metal skewers.
2 Thread alternating pieces of zucchini, capsicum and tomato onto the skewers to make 8 kebabs. Spray lightly with oil and season with salt and pepper.
3 Preheat a chargrill pan over medium heat. Cook the kebabs for 12-15 minutes, turning once, until the vegetables are charred and tender.
4 Just before vegetables are ready, heat a non-stick frypan over medium heat. Cook the haloumi for 30 seconds on each side until golden and just softened.
5 Meanwhile, cook the rice according to packet instructions. Transfer to a bowl, then stir in lemon juice and some pepper.
6 Stir the yoghurt, tahini, garlic, mint and some salt and pepper together in a bowl.
7 Serve the kebabs with lemon rice and yoghurt sauce, garnished with extra mint.
