Grilled Halloumi And Roasted Pepper Salad Recipes

GRILLED HALLOUMI AND ROASTED VEGETABLES SALAD RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200C and prepare the vegetables for the halloumi salad. Halve and deseed the peppers and cut each half into 4 pieces. Cut the red onion into 8 wedges. Halve the zucchinis lengthways and then slice into 2cm chunks. Top and tail the aubergine, cut it in half and slice. Place all the vegetables (and the garlic) in a large baking tray and sprinkle with some fresh thyme and rosemary leaves. Season and drizzle with some olive oil and toss them to coat. Roast the vegetables for about 35 minutes, until golden, soft and cooked through. While the veggies are cooking, get them a good stir every now and again.
• To prepare the dressing for the halloumi salad (oil and lemon sauce/ ladolemono), add into a blender all the ingredients and blend, until combined.
• Place the Halloumi cheese in a hot frying or griddle pan and cook until it turns golden brown, turning half way through cooking (about a minute on each side).
• Assemble the Halloumi salad. Put the leafy greens and the roasted vegetables in a large salad bowl. Pour in the sauce (be careful not to add too much sauce, because the greens will become wilt and no longer crunchy). Toss to coat everything in the dressing; have a taste and add some more seasoning, if needed. Tear the Halloumi into pieces over the salad and serve while still warm. Enjoy!

GRILLED HALLOUMI & PEACH SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat outdoor grill or stove-top grill pan over medium-high heat.
• Spray peach segments with cooking spray or brush with olive oil then place on the grill. Add cheese to the grill too. Grill for 2-3 minutes per side until charred grill marks appear and peach is just starting to soften, flip and grill on the other side.
• Arrange the arugula on a salad dish, top with grilled peach segments and grilled halloumi slices. Top with toasted pine nuts.
• Whisk the olive oil and balsamic vinegar in a small bowl until combined. Drizzle dressing over top of the salad and season with salt and pepper to taste.

GRILLED HALLOUMI WITH SPICY-SWEET PEPPERS

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium high. Combine the roasted peppers, Calabrian chiles, garlic, lemon juice and olive oil in a small bowl. Season with salt, stir and set aside.
• Oil the grill grates. Grill the halloumi until well marked and warmed through, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove to a platter. Spoon the red pepper mixture over the cheese and top with basil and mint. Serve with bread.

SPICED GRILLED HALLOUMI

Steps:

• Prepare a charcoal grill for two-zone cooking over medium-high heat by pouring the coals onto one half of the grill. For a gas grill, heat all of the burners to high, then turn off one of the end burners before cooking.
• While the grill is heating, arrange the tomatoes on a platter with an edge to prevent leaking and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Drizzle with olive oil. Set aside. Pat halloumi dry and drizzle with olive oil to coat on both sides. Set aside.
• In a small skillet over medium-low heat, toast the coriander seeds, cumin seeds and red-pepper flakes, shaking often, until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and smash with the side of your knife until cracked. (You can also do this with a mortar and pestle.) Transfer to a small bowl, add the sugar, and rub with your fingers to further crush the seeds.
• When you're ready to grill, take the halloumi, tomatoes, seeds, tongs and a tightly folded paper towel soaked with olive oil to the grill. Clean the grates with a grill brush, then oil the grates with the paper towel. Grill the cheese over the flame, flipping halfway through, until well browned and it releases easily from the gates, 4 to 6 minutes total. (For a gas grill, close the lid between flips, listening and keeping an eye out for flare-ups.) If the cheese sticks to the grates, give it another minute on the heat. Transfer the cheese to the tomatoes, then sprinkle with the seeds. Season to taste with more red-pepper flakes, sugar and olive oil.

GRILLED HALLOUMI APPETIZER SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat grill.
• Slice Halloumi in half lengthwise.
• Rub Halloumi halves with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil.
• Drizzle one tablespoon of the olive oil on the red onion slices and one tablespoon on the zucchini slices.
• Grill Halloumi, red onions and zucchini, until beginning to blacken, turning frequently, about 2-4 minutes per side.
• Transfer Halloumi to a cutting board and slice each piece in half to make four pieces.
• Transfer Halloumi and vegetables to large platter.
• Drizzle with olive oil and lime juice to taste, and sprinkle with freshly ground pepper.
• Serve warm.

GRILLED HALLOUMI AND ROASTED PEPPER SALAD

Steps:

• Grill the peppers, skin-side up, under a preheated moderate grill, until blackened. Place in a freezer bag and allow to cool slightly, then peel off the skins and chop the peppers into small pieces.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the oil and vinegar, season to taste, then stir into the peppers.
• Sprinkle the paprika on both sides of the halloumi slices. Lightly brush a griddle pan with oil and heat over a high heat. Add the cheese and griddle for 1-2 minutes, until lightly charred and starting to melt. Remove from the heat and squeeze over the lemon juice.
• Toast the pitta, then cut into strips. Divide the rocket leaves between four plates, arrange the peppers on top, followed by the halloumi, and sprinkle with the pine nuts. Serve immediately with the pitta.
