Grilled Halloumi and Vegetable Kebabs Recipe

• 1 pound Roma tomatoes (about 4 medium tomatoes)
• 1 (14-ounce) jar marinated artichoke halves or quarters, drained
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon coarsely chopped fresh oregano leaves
• 2 medium garlic cloves, coarsely chopped
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1 pound eggplant
• 24 small to medium cremini mushrooms
• 2 medium red bell peppers
• 1 pound halloumi cheese
• 15 (12-inch) wooden or metal skewers (soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes to avoid burning on the grill)
• Kosher salt
• Freshly ground black pepper
• Vegetable or olive oil, for oiling the grill

1. Core the tomatoes, coarsely chop, and place in a blender.
2. Add the remaining ingredients and blend until smooth.
3. Transfer 1 cup of the sauce to a small serving bowl and set aside for serving.
4. Divide the remaining sauce between 2 large bowls; set aside.
5. Trim and cut the eggplant into 1-inch chunks and place in one of the large bowls of sauce.
6. Trim the stems from the mushrooms, add them to the bowl with the eggplant, and toss to combine; set aside.
7. Core and seed the bell peppers, cut into 1-inch pieces, and place in the second large bowl of sauce.
8. Cut the cheese into 24 pieces, add to the bowl with the peppers, and toss to combine; set aside.
9. Heat a gas or charcoal grill to medium high (about 375 degrees F to 425 degrees F).
10. Meanwhile, thread the vegetables and cheese onto the skewers (alternating each ingredient), leaving about 1/8 inch of space between each piece.
11. Place on a baking sheet and season generously with salt and pepper.
12. When the grill is ready, rub the grates with a towel dipped in oil.
13. Place the skewers on the grill.
14. Close the grill and cook, turning the skewers every 3 minutes, until all sides are lightly charred on the edges and the vegetables are crisp-tender, about 15 to 20 minutes total.
15. Transfer the skewers to a serving platter and serve with the reserved sauce.
