Perfect for nibbling, or as a starter with a few drizzles of sweet tangy raspberry balsamic glaze and quality olive oil, these pan-fried Halloumi cheese are crisp, sticky, chewy and totally delicious. It is best served warm and you can complement it with different kinds of seasonal fruit, fresh mint or oregano leaves. Once it cools down, halloumi will get rubbery again. It can be reheated slightly, but the taste and texture won't be the same.
Tangy and salty with squeaky spongy texture, Halloumi (or Haloumi) is a semihard, unripened, and brined cheese traditionally made with goat's and/or sheep's milk. It's most used as a grilling/frying cheese because it maintains its shape when heated. It can be found in most supermarkets or specialty stores. I bought mine in ALDI.

- Heat a non-stick grill pan or frying pan over medium-high heat. Brush halloumi slices lightly with olive oil, and a squeeze of lemon juice too if you like. Cook halloumi for 1-2 minutes. When it starts to brown and crisp up turn the slices over and cook on the other side for another minute or two.
- Arrange halloumi on a plate with the gooseberries or cherries and mint. Drizzle with a bit of olive oil and balsamic glaze and season with freshly milled pepper.

Haloumi is a great treat and so perfect with balsamic glaze and mint. Great idea!
ReplyDeleteGreat way to prepare halloumi! Love the idea of pairing it with gooseberries. I don't see those in our markets that much these days -- only farmers markets. Alas. :-) Neat dish -- thanks.
ReplyDeleteWhat a tasty combination!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds wonderful and your photos are gorgeous! I love how those berries are all over so nice!
ReplyDeleteFruit and cheese makes an excellent starter...though I'd be happy with this yummy combination for lunch, too!
ReplyDeleteI've never done anything with Halloumi because I have a hard time finding it. Your salad looks so awesome that it has inspired me to look a little harder. A beautiful seasonal salad Angie!
ReplyDeleteI wonder if I can get Halloumi -- this sounds like a good idea. We definitely never see gooseberries here in the US. I don't know what they taste like!
