Tuscan grill for barbequing the courgettes and halloumi

Woodfired Halloumi & Courgette Wraps – Method

1. Heat 1tbsp olive oil in a saucepan and add the red onion and gren chilli. Cook on top of the Morso Forno if you are using one or just inside the door of your regular woodfired oven to soften the onions. Add the chopped tomatoes and let them soften down too.
2. Bring the embers to the centre of the oven and put the Tuscan grill over them to heat up.

1. Toss the courgettes in the mint with 3tbsp olive oil and the garlic and barbeque them on the Tuscan grill.
2. Keep the courgettes warm while you griddle the halloumi pieces – toss these in a little olive oil first as well. Don’t move the cheese until it is well charred on each side which will add flavour and make them look great.

3. Roll out the flatbread dough and cook in the oven (or on the Morso as we did) or just warm through some shop bought ones.

Woodfired Halloumi & Courgette Wraps – Alternatives

Instead of the courgettes, griddle some red pepper strips which always barbeque well.

Use chives or oregano instead of the mint or coriander.

If you don’t want a vegetarian wrap, do use strips of chicken thigh or leg of lamb in its place.
