Grilled Brussels Sprouts with Halloumi

Brussels sprouts are kind of a big deal around here - especially once they start popping up at our local farmers market!

We enjoy the classic pairing of the Brussels sprouts with pancetta, onion and balsamic roasted in a hot oven. But what happens when you still have no power thanks to hurricane Fiona?

Grilled Brussels Sprout Skewers!

We gently cooked the Brussel sprouts before hand in the microwave (thank you generator power) to help soften them before grilling. (We apologize for how your kitchen smells afterwards!) And then tossed the ingredients with our Red Rub spice blend and layered them on metal skewer sticks to cook over hot coals.

So delicious, we can’t wait to share with you!

We added halloumi, the grilling cheese, to the recipe - just take a look at the different brands and watch the sodium level, Halloumi can be quite salty but varies between brands.

Grilled Brussels Sprout Skewers

Ingredients

  • 1 lbs Brussels Sprouts, trimmed and outer layers removed if neccessary
  • 1 red onion, cut into large pieces
  • 1 package halloumi, cut into thick sliced squares
  • 4-5 slices thick bacon, cut into squares
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 1 tbsp Red Rub (sprinkle a little more if you feel it needs it!)
  • ¼ cup balsamic vinegar

Directions

  1. Preheat the bbq to about 375 F

  2. After you trim the brussels sprouts, cut any large ones in half so they are all uniform in size.

  3. Add to a microwave safe bowl, cover and cook for 3 minutes to let them soften slightly prior to bbq’ing.

  4. In the same bowl as the brussels sprouts, add in the red onions, bacon and halloumi and mix together with the Red Rub and olive oil.

  5. Start layering on metal skewers (if you are using wood skewers, just remember to soak for at an hour prior to using)

  6. Lay them directly on the grill. You’ll want to turn them occasionally so the cheese doesn’t get the opportunity to slide off, but not too much where the ingredients don’t get a chance to char. Balance! :)

  7. When they have browned enough for you, lay them on a platter and drizzle all over with the balsamic vinegar.

I wasn't sure what to do with this...

I got one jar of this, and didn't know what to do with it. It was Taco Tuesday, so I decided to try to miss it while making the beef.
I would have to say that it ended up working, and I found my tacos were enhanced.

Big Cove Made It To The Caribbean!!!

My cousin and her husband came to visit me in Dominica West Indies. They brought along Egyptian summer and hot jerk spices from.Big Cove Foods!!! The taste sensation just blew my mind. I made a stirfry of chicken with vegetables using the Egyptian summer. The flavor was sensational. I used the hot jerk on some locally caught fresh mahi-mahi. It was absolutely extraordinary. I have a friend who’s coming to visit me in August and I’m hoping that she will be able to bring me a few of the others as well. I am hooked line and sinker. All the best with your business. I highly recommend these spices.. 💕

Great hostess gifts!

These little boxes of spice varieties are great! I’m taking them to Ontario this week and will use them as the perfect little ‘hostess gifts’ I use Big Cove spices all the time. ‘Mary had a’ is my favourite. I use it on everything! (I don’t even like lamb so I definitely don’t just use it for that, lol!)

Flavourful Blend

I repurchased this tasty blend when it was available again. I would say it's a medium heat so it's a nice option to have. We also enjoy the Ghost Taco blend but use it sparingly for that extra kick!

Found in Baddeck. Making Food taste great in Toronto

Travelled to Cape Breton ( Baddeck, where I was born and raised ) a couple of years ago and found these amazing spices. Been ordering ever since. Shipping to Toronto covered for an order big enough ( which we do ). Pick it up at the One of a Kind Show when we can. Use on meats and roasted veggies.

Ghost Taco spice blend
Best Taco Blend!

My second time purchasing Ghost Taco and it’s unreal. Perfect amount of spice and no fillers like starch that a lot of other blends have. Great on chicken and beef.

On top of that my package got stuck with the Canada Post Strike and when they learned I was still waiting they sent me a brand new package through a different shipper. Amazing customer service guys, thanks!

Hard to pick just one

What I love about these spices is that they may come individually packaged, but I still turn on a bit more wild, by mixing one package with another. Have you tried Taco Enhancer with Red Rub? Amazing
