Picked this block of Halloumi (or Halloom) up at a middle eastern store, then proceeded to ask my daughter "what do I do with it?" She has mentioned using it in the past so I figured she could help me out.
She said it was best grilled so we used our Cookina sheet on the BBQ. Love it because you still get the grill marks but don't have to worry about food falling through the grill.
When I opened the cheese package I realized it was folded in half and when unfolded was just about the right thickness for grilling, 1/2". So just cut it into serving pieces.
No need for oil. Simply place the halloumi on the hot grilling sheet (or right on the grill if you choose, but maybe oil that first) and cook at 375F (medium hot) 2-4 minutes or until golden on the bottom and there is little moisture left. It doesn't melt!
Flip each piece and cook an additional minute or 2.
It's not like any other cheese I have ever had. It's briny/salty...
and it has the texture of a piece of white meat!
I think it might be awesome on a skewer with some veggies. Hmm, will have to pick up more halloumi !!
