Grilled halloumi and lemon

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 and easy lunch or a snack. Serve it with a Mediterranean-style green salad - in pitta bread, if you like.
