What to have with Halloumi cheese?

Question

I am on a diet so no fattening suggestions, i am not fussy either x

Answer 1

Hello,

Mmmmm halloumi, one of my favourite ever cheeses.

1)Fry quickly in hot oil in a mix of lemon juice and finely shredded chilli.

2) Serve with roasted red peppers/capsicum from a jar (the sweetness of the peppers offsets the saltyness of the cheese).

3) Slice-up and aubergine / eggplant into slices lengthways brush with a little oil and bake in a hot oven until a little brown. Wrap aroud chunks of halloumi and fry in a oil till browed. Serve with chopped mint and lemon wedges for squeezing.

Answer 3

My Cypriot friend tosses halloumi with fresh organic pasta, olive oil, tomatoes, s+p.  You can also have it grilled or pan seared wih your breakfast toast and garden salad.  

Halloumi is very fattening so I would cut back on dairy and animal products when you do have it.

Answer 10

Halloumi grates quite well so you could have it on top of a salad, in a jacket potatoe. Grill it in slices and have it with a wam salad, with a nice dressing on top. If you have any naan or pitta breads around you could make a pizza ot of it. Just spread some tomatoe puree or bolognese sauce out a jar onto the bread, add what you like and put the halloumi on top. You need to watch how much of the cheese you're having though, because halloumi is actually quite fattening itself...unless you've got the low fat stuff....and it's very high in salt.

Answer 11

Uhm, then just plain toast or garlic toast.

Or some yummy olive and wine.

Mmmmm

Or a nice salad.
