Grilled halloumi and vegetables are a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for any occasion. Halloumi is a semi-hard cheese that is made from sheep's or goat's milk, and it has a slightly tangy flavor. When grilled, halloumi becomes golden brown and slightly crispy on the outside, while remaining soft and chewy on the inside. Vegetables such as zucchini, eggplant, bell peppers, and onions are also grilled until tender and slightly charred. The combination of flavors and textures in this dish is simply irresistible.

Categories     Salad

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 red peppers
1 green pepper
1 aubergine
2 zucchinis
1 red onion
2 cloves of garlic (skins on)
olive oil
thyme, rosemary
salt and freshly ground pepper
1/3 of a cup extra virgin olive oil
1/3 of a cup water
1 tsp mustard
2 tbsps lemon juice
some fresh herbs (basil, mint, parsley)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 200C and prepare the vegetables for the halloumi salad. Halve and deseed the peppers and cut each half into 4 pieces. Cut the red onion into 8 wedges. Halve the zucchinis lengthways and then slice into 2cm chunks. Top and tail the aubergine, cut it in half and slice. Place all the vegetables (and the garlic) in a large baking tray and sprinkle with some fresh thyme and rosemary leaves. Season and drizzle with some olive oil and toss them to coat. Roast the vegetables for about 35 minutes, until golden, soft and cooked through. While the veggies are cooking, get them a good stir every now and again.
  • To prepare the dressing for the halloumi salad (oil and lemon sauce/ ladolemono), add into a blender all the ingredients and blend, until combined.
  • Place the Halloumi cheese in a hot frying or griddle pan and cook until it turns golden brown, turning half way through cooking (about a minute on each side).
  • Assemble the Halloumi salad. Put the leafy greens and the roasted vegetables in a large salad bowl. Pour in the sauce (be careful not to add too much sauce, because the greens will become wilt and no longer crunchy). Toss to coat everything in the dressing; have a taste and add some more seasoning, if needed. Tear the Halloumi into pieces over the salad and serve while still warm. Enjoy!

GRILLED HALLOUMI AND VEGETABLES



Grilled Halloumi and Vegetables image

Halloumi is a firm, white, brined cheese traditionally made from a mixture of goat's and sheep's milk. (Though today, cow's milk is often used.) Like other low-fat cheeses, it is perfect for grilling. It sears and colors quickly when it hits the hot grill. The interior softens, but the cheese doesn't melt; it just warms up invitingly.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

3/4 pound halloumi
2 sweet red peppers
1 large zucchini
1 Japanese eggplant
1 bunch scallions, trimmed
Salt and pepper
About 1/4 cup olive oil
2 teaspoons fresh thyme or crumbled dried mint
1/2 to 1 teaspoon sumac (optional)

Steps:

  • Prepare a hot grill. Cut halloumi into 8 to 12 slabs, about 1/3- to 1/2-inch thick. Cut peppers into wide pieces, slicing from top to bottom along the natural indentations. Discard seeds. Cut pieces in half crosswise. Slice the zucchini and eggplant on the diagonal, into 1/4- to 1/3-inch-thick rounds.
  • Season all vegetables with salt and pepper. Brush vegetables and halloumi with olive oil.
  • Grill vegetables until tender and nicely charred, turning occasionally. If you'd like, use an outdoor grill pan to keep them from slipping through the grate. Scallions will be ready after 3 to 4 minutes. Peppers, zucchini and eggplant take about 10 minutes. Arrange on a platter.
  • Grill halloumi, turning occasionally, for 2 to 6 minutes, until grill marks appear. When you press on the cheese, it should give but it should not be runny.
  • Remove cheese to the platter with vegetables and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle cheese and vegetables with herbs and sumac, if you'd like, and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right halloumi. Look for halloumi that is firm and white, with a slight yellow tinge. Avoid halloumi that is too soft or crumbly, as it will not hold its shape on the grill.
  • Slice the halloumi properly. Cut the halloumi into thick slices, about 1/2-inch thick. This will help to prevent the cheese from melting too quickly on the grill.
  • Marinate the halloumi. Marinating the halloumi in olive oil, herbs, and spices will help to add flavor and prevent the cheese from drying out on the grill.
  • Grill the halloumi over medium heat. This will help to prevent the cheese from burning. Cook the halloumi for 2-3 minutes per side, or until it is golden brown and slightly charred.
  • Serve the halloumi immediately. Halloumi is best served hot off the grill. You can serve it with grilled vegetables, a salad, or pita bread.

Conclusion:

Grilled halloumi is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, main course, or side dish. It is a great way to enjoy the unique flavor of halloumi, and it is also a healthy and satisfying meal. With a few simple tips, you can easily grill halloumi at home and enjoy this delicious cheese.
