TOMATO, BASIL, AND HALLOUMI SALAD
I love pan-seared halloumi cheese and I thought it would be amazing with the slight sweetness of tomatoes, which are old friends of basil of course. I didn't add any salt as halloumi is very salty on it's on. You can adjust the amount of any of the ingredients to your tastes. I love garlic and probably use even more than a tsp when I make this dish, so use sparingly if you're not a big fan. I eyeballed the ingredients when I made this as well so they can be adjusted easily.

Steps:
- Remove the cheese from the package and squeeze lightly with paper towels to get most of the moisture off the outside of the cheese block.
- Put a tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet and heat on medium to med-high heat.
- While the skillet is heating up, cut the halloumi into 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch cubes.
- Place the cubes in the heated pan and toss occasionally while cooking to brown the halloumi cubes on most sides.
- When the cubes have browned on most sides, remove from heat and set aside.
- Dice the tomatoes and cut the basil leaves (I usually place them on top of each other, roll them up length wise, and use scissors to cut them top to bottom, resulting in strands of basil).
- When the cheese has cooled for a few minutes, place in a bowl with tomatoes, basil, scallions, garlic and the rest of the olive oil and toss to mix.
- Put the mix in the fridge for at least a few hours to let the flavors develop (or consume immediately, which is what I did. I have no patience when it comes to cheese, but the salad does taste better if given time to sit).

HALLOUMI WITH CORN, CHERRY TOMATOES AND BASIL
Seared cubes of halloumi get melty and soft on their insides and dark brown and a little crisp on the surface, making it almost impossible not to devour them all as they come out of the pan. But try to resist, because they're even better tossed with a quick sauté of summer corn and tomatoes, seasoned with basil. Slivers of red onions, folded in raw at the end, add crunch and sweetness, while a squeeze of fresh lime makes everything tangy and fresh. Although this dish is at its most sublime made with fresh summer corn and ripe tomatoes, it's nearly as good in winter made with frozen corn. Serve it for a light, meatless dinner or a substantial side dish with roasted or grilled chicken or fish.

Steps:
- In a large, preferably nonstick skillet, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high until it thins out, about 20 seconds. Working in batches, add cheese in one layer, and cook until golden on one side, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip cheese and cook without moving until golden on the other side, about 1 minute longer. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and repeat with remaining cheese.
- Add remaining 2 tablespoons oil to the pan and heat it over medium-high. Add corn, tomatoes, jalapeño, cumin seeds and salt, and cook until corn and tomatoes have softened and everything looks juicy, about 5 to 10 minutes.
- Remove pan from the heat and stir in the browned cheese, sliced onion and basil. Squeeze a lime wedge or two over everything and season with more salt and lots of black pepper. Garnish with more basil and serve immediately.
