Halloumi pigs in blankets

Halloumi pigs in blankets

A veggie alternative to traditional pigs in blankets. This works perfectly as a side to your main meal or as a starter! I’ve used aubergine instead of the bacon and halloumi instead of the sausages. These are so tasty and satisfying. With the flavours of orange and basil coming through, you’d want to make these over and over again!

Ingredients:
2 small aubergines sliced thinly
A glug of olive oil
9 halloumi sticks
1 tablespoon honey
½ orange zest
½ orange juice from a fresh large orange
½ teaspoon chilli flakes
Handful of basil leaves, chopped and some for garnishing

This recipe is low carb and gluten free.
