Notes

  • You may need to soak your store bought Halloumi cheese in water for 2 hours before using it because it comes in brine. It is however less salty than feta cheese, so often cases, I don’t need soaking.Halloumi is great grilled :Also Fried Halloumi is great:You can eat the cheese raw, grilled or fried. It has a high meting point so it doesn’t melt.It has a chewy texture which is makes it a hearty and filing vegetarian option.It tastes very neutral so you can flavor it with any spice and dip it with several dips.
