Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams low-fat haloumi cheese
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 whole lemon
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons fresh mint
- 0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
Begin by slicing the low-fat haloumi cheese into approximately 1-centimeter thick slices.
Heat a grill pan over medium heat, and lightly brush the surface with half of the olive oil to prevent sticking.
Once the pan is hot, place the haloumi slices on the grill. Cook each side for about 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese develops a golden brown crust and grill marks.
While the haloumi is grilling, prepare the lemon and herbs. Zest the lemon to collect about a tablespoon of zest, then cut the lemon in half and juice one half. Save the other half for garnish or another use.
Chop the fresh parsley and mint finely, and mix them together in a small bowl.
Once the haloumi is adequately grilled, remove it from the pan and place it on a serving platter.
Drizzle the grilled haloumi with the remaining olive oil and the lemon juice. Sprinkle the lemon zest over the top, followed by the freshly chopped parsley and mint.
Finish by seasoning with freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Serve immediately, while the haloumi is warm and the flavors are fresh.
