I love to grill and this recipe is simple and easy, and complements most grilled meals very well! I serve this with a squeeze of lemon.
Ingredients:
Ingredients:
- 8 oz (225 g) halloumi cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- Freshly ground black pepper
- Optional: a pinch of chili flakes
- Fresh herbs (parsley, mint, or dill) for garnish
- Lemon wedges for serving
- Prepare the Halloumi:
- Remove the halloumi cheese from its packaging and pat it dry with a paper towel.
- Cut the halloumi into 1/2-inch thick slices.
- Marinate the Cheese:
- In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, dried oregano, lemon juice, and a sprinkle of black pepper (and chili flakes if using).
- Brush both sides of the halloumi slices with the olive oil mixture. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Preheat the Grill:
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a grill pan, heat it over medium-high heat until hot.
- Grill the Halloumi:
- Place the marinated halloumi slices on the grill or grill pan.
- Grill for about 2-3 minutes on each side, until the cheese is golden brown and has grill marks. Be careful not to overcook, as halloumi can become rubbery if left on the grill for too long.
