A fucking love haloumi, I fucking love grilling haloumi on my fucking grill.
I recently found out that paneer also works, at 1/4 the price, just needs a little salt.
I may have gone through a few 1kg blocks recently…
I haven’t heard of haloumi, what is it?
It’s cheese from Cyprus that fries without melting and has a neat squeaky feeling when you chew it. It’s perfect sliced and sauteed in a skillet with some butter. Finish it with some lemon juice for the traditional Cypriot style. The dense texture makes it ideal for tossing into salads. Fucking love halloumi.
I had a cheese once at a greek/breakfast place in my hometown that they brought out on a sizzling skillet, poured liquor on, lit on fire, then doused with lemon juice. Was that perhaps the same? I think they called it “saganaki” or something similar though (no idea about correct spelling)
Saganaki is just a Greek appetizer made of frying cheeses, sometimes including halloumi, but not necessarily. The way you describe it is one typical way it’s prepared.
Awesome, thanks for spreading some knowledge!
Haloumi is Squeeky cheese
This is what a damn salad should be
No, where’s the mayo?
The Midwest has entered the chat
My ideal salad is a bowl of Hidden Valley ranch with a sprinkling of lettuce, carrots, and croutons
Needs a dressing, not Mayo tho. Cmon man :(
OK, fine, Miracle Whip.
😭
Duke’s mayo doesn’t count as mayo
Looks awesome! I’ve done similar salads and found that a pomegranate reduction is the perfect dressing for this type of combo. Think it’s time for another lunch…
This looks fly af.
Looks great, I hope you’ll enjoy.
Where can i buy one
Halloumi is awesome!
Fucking love halloumi
I wonder how it’d be if I substituted the peaches with fig slices (or some other non-peach fruit) I’m not crazy about peaches
