Grilled Broccoli & Halloumi with Sesame Dressing

Melissa's just released her second book Fired Up and we cooked from the book for a couple of days, celebrating her absolutely massive achievement and enjoying some amazing food.

But I was also lucky enough to come home with a copy of the book and with a whole load of inspiration for cooking both seafood & veg over fire, I promised I'd share some recipes from the book so you guys can decide if you want to buy it.

You can see our first cook from the book by clicking the image - we cooked a huge array of seafood on the BBQ, which is Melissa's take on a seafood boil - but using fire instead of a boil.

I absolutely loved this recipe and I'll share my experiences cooking more seafood over the coming weeks... but for me the stand-out chapters of the book are the veggie dishes, which are something we're ALWAYS looking for.

Bring a saucepan of salted water to the boil and blanch the broccoli for 1 minute, then quickly cool them down in a bowl of iced water. Drain, then drizzle with sesame oil.

Drizzle the halloumi with olive oil and sprinkle the slices with the smoked paprika.

Light the barbecue with the coals set up with direct (hot) and indirect (cool) section.

Lay the broccoli and halloumi on the grill directly over the coals. Turn every couple of minutes, until the halloumi has a nice colour to it and is soft and the broccoli is golden with patches of crispness. Once pieces are ready, push them to the outside edge away from the coals.

Put the broccoli and lamb's lettuce into a bowl and dress with the olive oil and lemon zest and juice. Plate up, then lay the halloumi on top.

Drizzle with the sesame dressing, then sprinkle with the sesame seeds and some pickled chillies.

Serve... and enjoy!
