Haloumi

[Ice Cream]

I bought an 8 oz. package at Aldi's. Never used it before and did not know what it was. Looked up a few recipes, but if anyone has a favorite, I'd be glad to look at it.

Haloumi pairs well with watermelon and bacon/pancetta/prosciutto and something green like arugula or mint.  Google for recipes.

One of my former direct reports is a Greek Cypriot, and he introduced me to the deliciousness that is halloumi.  My favorite way to fix it is to coat ~1/2 inch slices with olive oil, place them on a parchment paper lined baking sheet, sprinkle fresh thyme leaves over all, then bake at 400 F for about 15 minutes. Serve with lemon wedges.  Baking it is much less messy than grilling the cheese.

I love squeaky cheese! Great grilled and in salads. I used to cook in grill press and then just thrown into a salad.

MMM.  halloumi.  I love it.
I throw it in a cast iron skillet with some pre-heated olive oil.  Then, serve alongside a salad.  I will put a dollop of mint hot sauce on it. Super easy.

Grill it or cook in a skillet. I love it. No one else here does, so more for me.

It's very pretty and fall-looking. The cabbage cooks down to almost nothing.

I finally made it tonight. It was quite good, but too salty to my taste.

I don't remember that, but I do love salt.

You can sub in blocks of feta for halloumi in most recipes, with a similar outcome. So good either way!

You can rinse and drain it in a colander to remove some of the salt.

YES! and my diet is too low in salt so salt doesn't bother me.

I don't like the taste of salty food.

[caribougrrl]

halloumi and feta are both very salty, some halloumi is too salty for me

I find paneer is a good substitute without too much salt, but it's not always easy for me to find here.

I love salt!! I hope I never develop any health issues that require a low salt diet. Unsalted food tastes like sadness.
