Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Haloumi cheese
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 whole Lemon
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons Fresh mint
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 clove Garlic
Instructions
Begin by preheating your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Slice the Haloumi cheese into approximately 1cm thick slices. This should give you about 8 slices from a 250g block.
In a small bowl, mince the garlic clove finely, and transfer it to a larger mixing bowl.
Juice the lemon into the mixing bowl, taking care to remove any seeds.
Add olive oil, salt, and black pepper to the lemon and garlic mixture, and whisk together until well combined.
Finely chop the fresh parsley and mint leaves, and add them to the mixing bowl. Stir the herb mixture thoroughly.
Brush some of the olive oil mixture onto each side of the Haloumi slices.
Place the Haloumi slices on the preheated grill. Grill each side for about 2-3 minutes, until marks appear and the cheese starts to brown. Be careful not to overcook, as Haloumi can become rubbery.
Once grilled, remove the Haloumi from the grill and transfer to a serving platter.
Drizzle the remaining lemon and herb dressing over the hot Haloumi slices.
Serve immediately, garnished with extra fresh herb leaves if desired.
