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
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preheating your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Step 2
Slice the Haloumi cheese into approximately 1cm thick slices. This should give you about 8 slices from a 250g block.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mince the garlic clove finely, and transfer it to a larger mixing bowl.
Step 4
Juice the lemon into the mixing bowl, taking care to remove any seeds.
Step 5
Add olive oil, salt, and black pepper to the lemon and garlic mixture, and whisk together until well combined.
Step 6
Finely chop the fresh parsley and mint leaves, and add them to the mixing bowl. Stir the herb mixture thoroughly.
Step 7
Brush some of the olive oil mixture onto each side of the Haloumi slices.
Step 8
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.
Step 9
Once grilled, remove the Haloumi from the grill and transfer to a serving platter.
Step 10
Drizzle the remaining lemon and herb dressing over the hot Haloumi slices.
Step 11
Serve immediately, garnished with extra fresh herb leaves if desired.
