I slice it, put a bit of olive oil and thyme on it and grill it.

Queenbean · 10/07/2016 20:58

Grill or BBQ it, is the best then

Love lentils and bacon with wilted spinach and grilled halloumi

Owllady · 10/07/2016 20:59

Squeaky cheese competitions :)

You can grill it, put in burgers etc

Chickpeachick0 · 10/07/2016 20:59

Fry in a smudge of chilli oil with cashew nuts .

VinoEsmeralda · 10/07/2016 20:59

Slice it, grill it, eat it
Make kebabs with peppers, onion ect..
Lovely with green asparagus ( on bbq)

TondelayaDellaVentamiglia · 10/07/2016 20:59

slice it, fry it in a dry pan and eat it all before anyone realises.

SafariOrigami · 10/07/2016 20:59

I pan fry it till it is golden and crispy and add it to salads....delicious! I think I had this almost every day last week for lunch!

Chickpeachick0 · 10/07/2016 20:59

Whoops-smidge !!

Elledouble · 10/07/2016 21:00

This is lovely. You don't have to do the vinaigrette - although it is delicious - but the cooking instructions for the halloumi are the best I've tried.

Grill it and add to cous cous with grilled veg.

NoahVale · 10/07/2016 21:00

It's from Nigella Express; I use fresh sliced peppers and stick it in the oven at 200 degrees for about 20 minutes. then turn the sausages if needed.

Delia also has a halloumi recipes; I think it's fried and then dressed with lime.

YorkieDorkie · 10/07/2016 21:01

Best sliced and barbecued!
Mushrooms topped with grilled slices and homemade salsa
Halloumi burgers instead of cheddar
Steak and halloumi salad
Chicken, veg and halloumi skewers
I think I could go on but all I do is BBQ it!

SimplyNigella · 10/07/2016 21:01

Fill pittas with grilled halloumi, butternut squash, slices of fat tomatoes and a layer of chilli jam.

NoahVale · 10/07/2016 21:02

I dry fry it then have to like a burger with mushroom and salad in a brioche bun.

confusedandemployed · 10/07/2016 21:05

Just grill it. It's too delicious to be adulterated with other flavours.

Paintedhandprints · 10/07/2016 21:06

Bacon, poached egg and grilled halloumi, with tomato chutney on a breakfast muffin.

Branleuse · 10/07/2016 21:07

in a pitta with salad, falafel and hummous

HALLOUUUMI (in Homer-style voice)

You must cook it. Grilled (or even better, barbecued) is infinitely better than fried or anything else.

I could happily eat a whole packet of grilled halloumi by itself Blush but here are two of our favourite recipes:

I do a couple of Nigella recipes:

Mix chopped red chilli with olive oil, grill the cheese then drizzle with the oil mixture and a squeeze of lemon juice. Serve with fresh crusty bread.

Chop a normal potato, sweet potato, red onion, yellow pepper, whole garlic cloves - drizzle with olive oil and bake for an hour (ish). Then put Halloumi slices on top of the mix and grill till crispy.

Also, it is lovely mixed with pasta and pesto.

Absolutely love halloumi!!

DontCallMeBaby · 10/07/2016 21:09

Fried, served on couscous salad with sweet chilli sauce (DD made the salad in food tech, wasn't remotely excited about it until I thought of halloumi).

Fried again, in a sandwich with houmous, tomato, and rocket.

It's good battered and deep fried too, often billed as 'veggie fish and chips' on menus, but I wouldn't do that at home, one for the pub.

AlpacaPicnic · 10/07/2016 21:09

Dry fried until crispy outside then placed on top of a roasted giant mushroom in a burger bun. Drizzle of sweet chilli sauce. Homemade nandos!

SimplyNigella · 10/07/2016 21:11

You've made me crave halloumi and open finding some in the fridge I have discovered that it makes a lovely cheese on toast with fennel and raisin sourdough and chipotle relish.
