This halloumi and padron pepper skewers recipe, finished with sweet-and-spicy hot maple syrup, makes an unbeatable meat-free addition to your barbecue. Served with a sharp, juicy cherry salad loaded with herbs, rocket and crunchy almonds, this dish is the perfect balance of sweet, salty and smoky. It’s speedy enough to make midweek, but special enough to serve when friends come over at the weekend. We've suggested using our King Cherries, but when they're not in season, any ripe cherries will work just as well.
