Grilled Halloumi Cheese with Garlic and Mint
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- juice of one (1) lemon
- 1 garlic clove, finely chopped
- small bunch of fresh mint, chopped
- salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 package Halloumi cheese
- 2 tablespoons pomegranate seeds (optional)
Step 1
In a large bowl, mix the first four ingredients, and season to taste with salt and pepper. May be made in advance and refrigerated.
Step 2
Preheat your grill. (If you wish to use your oven, set it on broil, or on a stick-free skillet on your stove top.)
Step 3
Slice the Halloumi into bite-sized pieces or in long strips and place the pieces into bowl; and pour the garlic-mint mixture over the cheese and let stand for ten minutes, stirring once or twice to coat all sides.
Step 4
If using your grill or skillet, using tongs, place the pieces of cheese on the grill/skillet. Otherwise, place the contents of the bowl into a shallow oven-proof dish, and place in your oven. Cook the cheese 4 minutes on each side.
Step 5
Remove the cheese and garnish with pomegranate seeds.
Step 6
Serve hot.
