Halloumi Cheese Kebabs

Recipe #381404 | 45 min | 30 min prep | add private note

Halloumi cheese is one of the only cheeses you can grill or fry without it melting all over ! Traditionally Cypriot its seen on the BBQ and Grills all over Cyprus and Greece being used in many ways including in pitta breads to make a very tasty sandwich!

SERVES 1 -2 , 2 kebabs (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Cut the halloumi into thick slices (about 1/4 inch).
  2. 2
    Mix together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano and pepper.
  3. 3
    Leave the Halloumi in the mixture for half an hour.
  4. 4
    Place the Halloumi on a red hot griddle pan and cook until nicely coloured, turn it over and repeat (depending on heat of pan will only take a few minutes each side so don't leave it).
  5. 5
    Warm the pitta breads under the grill (in the oven, in a toaster) following manufacturers instructions.
  6. 6
    Slice the top edge of the pitta off (much easier than trying to slice down into it)
  7. 7
    put in a little salad, some slices of cucumber, tomato and red peppers.
  8. 8
    Add the cheese and some more salad building up until its nice and full.
  9. 9
    Serve with the dressing on one side or you could add it as you are building it up.

I didn't make kebabs/pita's with my Halloumi as I like this cheese "straight up." I used your marinade and it was spot on and really added wonderfully to the taste of the cheese. It was perfect to balance the saltiness as well. Thanks for posting!!
