Background

I love using halloumi because it’s an excellent substitute for meat and it’s very easy to cook. This grilled Halloumi and lemon recipe can be ready in just 10 minutes - ideal for a quick & easy lunch or a snack. Serve it with a Mediterranean-style green salad - in pitta bread, if you like.

Ingredients

2 small lemons
1 tsp honey
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 clove garlic, pressed
250g halloumi
1 tsp sea salt & peppercorns

Instructions

Preheat the grill in your oven.
Cut one lemon half into rings, juice the other one.
Using a pestle and mortar grind the garlic, pepper & salt, then stir in the lemon juice, oil and honey.
Cut the cheese into 1cm thick slices, then put them on a baking tray. Brush them with the glaze. Place lemon slices on top and brush these too with the glaze.
Bake under the hot grill for a few minutes - when the cheese is golden and the lemon is caramelised lemon, turn them over, brush with the remaining glaze, and grill for another couple of minutes until golden and caramelised.
