Prep 20 min · Cook 10 min · Total 4 hr · Makes 4 servings

Ingredients
- 8 oz. same-sized mushrooms, stems removed and washed
- 1 large sweet onion, cut into chunks the same size as mushrooms
- 1 pkg. Halloumi cheese, cut into chunks the same size as mushrooms and onions
- Non-stick grilling spray or oil to use on grill right before you put the skewers on.
- 3 T fresh squeezed lemon juice
- 2 tsp. red wine vinegar
- 2 T olive oil
- 1 tsp. Greek Seasoning
- 1/2 tsp. Spike Seasoning
Directions
- Pull off any big mushroom stems, rinse the mushrooms under cold water, and set them in a colander to drain while you prep the rest.
- Trim the onion at both ends, then cut it into pieces roughly matching the mushrooms in size. Do your best to leave the layers nestled together.
- Slice the cheese into chunks about the same size as the mushrooms and onion pieces.
- In a bowl, whisk the lemon juice, red wine vinegar, olive oil, Greek Seasoning, and Spike Seasoning until you have a marinade.
- Add the mushrooms, onion, and cheese to a Ziploc bag, then pour the marinade over everything. Refrigerate the bag for 3-4 hours, or a little longer if needed.
- When it is time to cook, check that the grill grates are clean, then heat the grill to medium high while you load the mushrooms, cheese, and onion onto skewers.
- Just before the skewers go on, coat the grill with non-stick grilling spray or brush it with a high smoke-point oil. Watch for flare-ups as you do this.
- Cook the skewers for about 6 minutes on each side. When turning, use a flat turner to gently release any cheese that is clinging to the grill. Serve hot.
