Ingredients
- 250 grams Dairy-free haloumi cheese
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons Fresh mint
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing the marinade. In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, chopped parsley, and chopped mint. Season with salt and black pepper. Mix well to combine all the flavors.
Step 2
Slice the dairy-free haloumi cheese into 1 cm thick slices. Ensure the slices are even for uniform cooking.
Step 3
Place the haloumi slices in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over the cheese. Ensure each piece is well coated. Let it marinate for at least 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Step 4
Preheat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Step 5
Once the grill is hot, place the marinated haloumi slices on the grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, until grill marks appear and the cheese is warmed through.
Step 6
Remove the grilled haloumi from the grill and transfer to a serving platter.
Step 7
Drizzle any remaining marinade over the grilled cheese, ensuring a burst of flavor in every bite.
Step 8
Garnish with an additional sprinkle of fresh parsley and mint, if desired, to enhance the fresh herbal notes.
Step 9
Serve warm, alongside lemon wedges, if available, for an extra tangy kick. Enjoy as an appetizer or pair with a fresh salad for a complete meal.
