Helpful Tips
COOKING TIPS
Make sure you slice your halloumi at least 1cm thick. Otherwise, it will melt and fall apart.
It is preferable to marinade the halloumi for at least 2-3 hours but I cook it after only marinading for 10 minutes. Either way, you'll love it.
Cook halloumi for only 2-3 minutes over high heat.
Once cooked, it is highly recommended you serve this appetiser immediately as halloumi tends to toughen when it goes to room temperature or cold.
You can re-heat halloumi in the microwave - however not for too long!
WAYS TO SERVE THIS RECIPE
Appetiser: pile it on a plate and serve it on its own or with pita bread.
Salad: roughly chop leafy greens and add ripe Roma tomatoes, a handful of canned chickpeas, and kalamata olives. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, and oregano.
Wrap or Sandwich: add the halloumi to your favorite wrap, burger or sandwich.
