Best 5 Roasted Red Pepper Halloumi Parcels Recipes

ROASTED PEPPER & HALLOUMI WRAPS

Steps:

• Sprinkle both sides of the halloumi with the oregano. Heat the oil in a non stick frying pan, then briefly fry the halloumi on both sides until golden. Meanwhile, heat the flat breads over a naked gas flame for a few seconds on each side to warm them. (Alternatively you can do this in a large frying pan.)
• Halve the peppers (removing any stray seeds) and thickly slice, then add to the pan with the aubergine and olives. Heat through, squeeze over two of the lemon wedges and season well. To serve, divide the mixture and the parsley sprigs between the wraps, and top each with a lemon wedge for squeezing over.

HALLOUMI STUFFED PEPPERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200C/Gas 6/fan oven 180C. Cut the peppers in half through the stalks and scoop out the seeds. Put the peppers in one layer on a baking sheet. Drain the mushrooms, reserving the oil from the jar - drizzle one tablespoon of the oil over the peppers, then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the peppers are just tender.
• Tip the couscous into a bowl and pour in the hot stock. Leave for 5 minutes to soak, then fluff up with a fork and stir in the mushrooms, halloumi and parsley. Season with salt and pepper and spoon into the pepper halves. Return to the oven for 15 minutes, until the cheese is golden. Serve the peppers warm with a mixed salad and garlic bread.

ROASTED RED PEPPERS WITH HALLOUMI

Steps:

• Cut the bell peppers in half lengthwise and remove the cores and seeds. Rub the skins of the bell peppers with 1 tbsp olive oil and arrange the peppers skin side down on a greased baking sheet.
• In this order, scatter half the garlic into the bell peppers, add the cheese, mint leaves, lemon zest, remaining garlic, thyme, pine nuts, and pepper. Drizzle the remaining oil and the lemon juice over the peppers.
• Roast the peppers in a preheated oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 30 minutes, until tender and beginning to char around the edges.
• Serve warm.

SWEET POTATOES WITH RED PEPPER & HALLOUMI

Steps:

• Rub each potato with a little oil and salt, then wrap in a double layer of foil.
• Pour the oil into a bowl and stir in the mint. Add the halloumi and toss until well coated in the minty oil. Wrap each piece in a strip of pepper. Cut four lengths of foil about 1cm wide and wrap one around the middle of each parcel to hold them together. You could use skewers instead, but be careful not to split the cheese.
• Heat the barbecue. When the coals glow red, put the potatoes directly on them. Cook for 30 mins, turning halfway. Unwrap a potato and check if it is cooked through. If not, rewrap and cook more, checking every 10 mins. Alternatively, bake in the oven at 200C/180C fan/gas 6 for 50 mins-1 hr.
• Meanwhile cook the pepper parcels on the barbecue or a griddle pan for 3-4 mins each side or until the pepper chars and the cheese melts a bit. Remove from the grill and unwind the foil or remove the skewers. Split the potatoes, add butter if you like, then lay a parcel in the centre of each. Add a squeeze of lemon and scatter over some parsley to serve.

• Place a slice of halloumi on top and sprinkle with basil, salt and pepper.
• Place the other pepper quarters on top and press down lightly.
• Brush with a little olive oil and fry in a griddle pan or place on your bbq until the peppers begin to char and the cheese starts to soften. It should take about 5 minutes on each side.
