and pepper. Set aside.

2 Brush the peppers with oil and cook under a hot grill (broiler) for 6–8 minutes, until slightly charred and soft. Set aside. Cut the aubergine and halloumi cheese into 8 slices each. Brush lightly with oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill (broil) them for 5 minutes, until golden brown.
