Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams haloumi cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium lemon
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon fresh mint
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Slice the haloumi cheese into 1 cm thick slices, making sure each slice is even to ensure consistent cooking.
Brush each side of the haloumi slices with olive oil, ensuring they are well-coated to prevent sticking.
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
While the grill is heating, zest the lemon and set the zest aside. Then, cut the lemon in half to squeeze out the juice into a small bowl.
Finely chop the fresh parsley and mint. Combine them with the lemon zest in a separate small bowl.
Place the haloumi slices on the preheated grill. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until the cheese has grill marks and is heated through.
Once grilled, remove the haloumi from the grill and place it on a serving platter.
Drizzle the lemon juice evenly over the grilled haloumi slices for a burst of freshness.
Sprinkle the parsley, mint, and lemon zest mixture over the haloumi.
Season with black pepper to taste and serve immediately while warm.
