Help, have halloumi stockpile...

[tigerdriver]

Any suggestions? I seem to have accidentally bought several halloumis as storecupboard staple but don't really know what to do with them. I only know an ancient Delia Smith recipe with coriander and garlic which is nice but not that nice.

I do actually [own a Llama suit]

Not.

And now I'm gonna have to try the orange and garlic salas - sounds fantastic.

We used to have big jars of homemade halloumi sent over from Cyprus when I was little. We always ate it grilled or plain with a simple salad and bread. It doesn't really need dressing up.

It's nice just plain with melon on a hot day.

It usually has a long shelf life, the packets I have in the fridge are use by may 2010 so you don't have to rush to use it up.

Add it to a massive oven tray of Mediterranean Roast Veg towards the end of the baking time and serve with ciabatta.

Oh I adore halloumi!

Haven't had any for months though it seems very expensive these days and I tend to scoff a pack for one meal...

I cut into bits which I grill and toss in with cherry tomato and lettuce salad and my home made salad dressing: wholegrain mustard, olive oil, and cider vinegar.

No chance of you posting any then.... [hopeful emoticon]

Hmmmm I'm hungry now. Might have to see if there are any stray packs lurking at the back of the freezer...

This has just reminded me of another halloumi recipe I do (can you tell I LOVE halloumi!)

Grilled halloumi (with jerk seasoning) and homemade coleslaw (with chopped chilli and peanuts in) served in pitta breads - it is delicious.

Quite happy to post the recipe if anyone wants it

Update: we had the halloumi chilli and orange salad which Guadalupe suggested and it was fab. I can see the halloumi way forward now guys! Thank you
