Step 1
Chop the halloumi in to roughly 2.5cm cubes. Crush the garlic then combine with the harissa, 2tbsp of the olive oil and the juice of half the lemon in a bowl . Add the halloumi and toss to combine. Marinate for one hour, or overnight.

Step 2
Prepare the potatoes by rubbing off any loose skin under a tap. Chop any larger potatoes in half. Half-fill a saucepan with cold water then add the potatoes. Place over a high heat and bring up to the boil, then allow to boil for 7 minutes before draining. Allow to cool slightly while you prepare the remaining vegetables.

Step 3
Preheat the barbecue or put a griddle pan over a high heat. Slice the onion into wedges and the courgette into 1cm rounds, then cut down the middle to make half-moons. Toss the courgette and Cornish New Potatoes in a bowl with the remaining 1/2tbsp oil and season to taste.
-
Step 4
Thread the Cornish New Potatoes, red onion, courgette and halloumi, reserving any loose marinade, onto the skewers. Barbecue or griddle for 12-15 minutes, turning every few minutes, until everything is golden and lightly charred and the potatoes are cooked through.

Step 5
Mix the yoghurt with the leftover harissa marinade and serve alongside the skewers, with a scattering of roughly chopped coriander leaves, the remaining lemon half sliced into wedges, and a side salad, if liked.
