Halloumi - interesting recipes

[sunsocks]

Hi
I fancy having some halloumi and was wondering if any of you have got a decent recipe? I don't just want it with salad - it needs to be reasonably substantial as I generally only eat two meals a day so I don't want to be starving tonight. Thanks

i like halloumi & veg kebabs with pitta and salad. Or sliced grilled and plonked on top of a steak

my friend gets smoke pork loin from cyrpus and we have that on fresh bread with grilled H on top

i want some now!

[mccfluff]

oh halloumi! I just griddle it and eat it on its own. The feel of squeak against my teeth and cheese that taste like bacon is my image of heaven!

[mccfluff]

that's it i'm going to have to go to sains and get some now

I LOVE it. I only ever have it with a sundried tomato, pinenut and leaf salad though. I've got some in the fridge - shame I've already made lunch cos I really fancy that now!

Why not do a stack of grilled halloumi with either courgette or aubergines gently griddled?

[Booldawg]

triggs - you've got to get with the programme!

I cook lamb mince very dry add chopped onions and some pre moistened cous cous stir it in well with some turmeric, and a tiny pinch of ground cumin... and some chopped fresh coriander and top it with cubes of griddled halloumi nice mint and yoghurt sauce on the side

[rowanwitch]

its wonderful...sort of magic cheese love it... go on triggs try some

[mccfluff]

i really really want to chase you round the office with some squeaky cheese now

[NoMercy]

Rowan, that sounds delish. I'll have to find a wine to serve with that!

[rowanwitch]

NM.... I normally use a dry normandy cider instead... but would welcome suggestions

[NoMercy]

There's two on today's wine thread and tbh, either of those would make an excellent accompaniment to anything with a hint of aromatic spice.

no trigger toe posts are the work of the devil
Halloumi is lovely - salty cheese yum yum

[joko]

fried is best, makes a love taste

i also like to add it to fried mushrooms in a cream cheese and garlic sauce

i add it to omelettes too

[sunsocks]

Hmmm - now need to decide between the roasted veg with halloumi on the link that Mccfluff kindly put on here, or the very exciting idea from Rowanwitch - can't wait.
Thanks for all the replies

I love it but just eat it out of the jar. Never thought to do a meal with it in.
