Preparing Halloumi Cheese for Cooking: Step-by-Step Guide.
We adore the delightful squeakiness of halloumi, a unique cheese that holds its shape when heated, making it a perfect addition to any vegetarian dish for added texture.
It's crucial to remember to check the rennet in your halloumi if you plan to serve it as a vegetarian option. Ensure you opt for a vegetarian variety to accommodate all dietary requirements.
Sauté it
Halloumi cheese can be cooked in several ways. The easiest method is to sauté slices in a dry non-stick frying pan. You won't need any oil, and dry-frying will impart a beautiful golden crust on the outside of the cheese while the center will be soft and ready to incorporate in a salad.
For a herby halloumi grain salad, add some capers and drizzle on some lemon dressing.
Bake it
Halloumi cheese is also heavenly when baked. Place slices on an ovenproof dish, sprinkle with olive oil and seasoning, and bake at 200C/fan 180C/gas 6 for around 10-15 minutes. While baking, the halloumi will absorb all the flavors, giving a unique taste to your dishes.
Paired with some crunchy bread and pre-roasted red peppers, thyme-baked halloumi is an ideal addition to a quick and easy mid-week meal.
Grill it
Grilling is still a popular cooking method, and halloumi cheese is perfect for a BBQ. Brush the cheese slices with oil, and cook them on direct heat for a brief period to prevent sticking. Try adding some extra seasoning before grilling for a bold flavor.
