Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams Vegan haloumi cheese
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons Fresh mint
- 1 tablespoon Fresh oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Begin by slicing the vegan haloumi cheese into 1 cm thick slices to ensure even grilling.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Carefully coat each slice of vegan haloumi with the prepared marinade, ensuring each piece is thoroughly covered. Allow it to marinate for at least 10 minutes.
While the cheese is marinating, finely chop the fresh parsley, mint, and oregano, and set aside.
Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated vegan haloumi slices in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
Grill each side for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown grill marks appear, then flip and grill the other side.
Once grilled, remove the slices and immediately sprinkle the fresh herbs over the top, allowing the residual heat to slightly wilt the herbs.
Transfer to a serving platter, garnish with additional lemon zest if desired, and serve warm.
