FRIED HALLOUMI WITH HONEY AND WALNUTS
4 servings
Halloumi is a firm, mild cheese with a high melting point, which makes it perfect for grilling or frying. If you cannot find Halloumi, paneer, queso blanco, or aged provolone are good substitutes, though paneer will benefit from a healthy sprinkle of salt after browning.
Heat in a heavy skillet over medium heat:
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Add and brown well on all sides, about 2 minutes per side:
- 8 ounces Halloumi, cut into 4 rectangular slabs
Transfer to a serving platter and top with:
- ¼ cup chopped toasted walnuts
- 1 tablespoon honey
- Chopped mint
