I'm not a big fan of halloumi but I really enjoyed this dish. The fava beans and mint add a lot of flavor and make the halloumi more palatable. I would definitely make this dish again.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover fava beans. I had some leftover from another recipe and this was the perfect way to use them up. The halloumi and mint add a lot of flavor and make this dish a complete meal.

This was my first time cooking halloumi and it turned out great! The cheese was crispy on the outside and gooey on the inside. The fava beans and mint were a great addition and added a lot of flavor to the dish.
