Lemon Grilled Halloumi Recipes

Steps:

• Juice one of the lemons into a bowl big enough to hold the halloumi.
• Place the cheese in the bowl and pour in just enough water to cover the halloumi entirely.
• Cover tightly and place in the fridge overnight.
• Just before you want to serve the halloumi, place a non-stick frying pan over a medium-high heat.
• When the pan is quite hot, place the halloumi in the pan and cook for about 30 seconds or until sealed and golden.
• Flip the cheese and cook for another minute on the other side.
• Transfer the cooked cheese to a platter and when you are all done, roughly chop the second lemon into small pieces.
• Sear the lemon pieces in the frying pan and then scatter over the halloumi.
• You could also add a sprinkling of your favourite fresh herbs, before serving as is or over a bed of baby lettuce leaves.

Steps:

• Prepare a gas grill for direct-heat cooking over moderately high heat.
• Cut 8 thin slices from lemons, then squeeze enough juice from remainder to measure 2 tablespoons and put in a bowl.
• Halve cheese diagonally, then cut each triangle, cut side down, into 1/3-inch-thick slices.
• Mince garlic and mash to a paste with a pinch of salt using side of a large heavy knife, then add to lemon juice. Whisk in salt and sugar until dissolved, then add 1/4 cup oil, whisking until combined.
• Separately toss lemon slices and cheese each with 1/2 tablespoon dressing.
• Brush both sides of bread with remaining 2 tablespoons oil.
• Grill bread, cheese, and lemon slices on grill rack, covered, turning over once (use a metal spatula to scrape under cheese to loosen before turning), until bread is toasted (2 to 3 minutes total), grill marks appear on cheese (3 to 4 minutes total), and lemons begin to wilt (4 to 6 minutes total).
• Whisk dill into remaining dressing. Divide bread among 4 small plates and top with cheese and lemon slices. Drizzle with dressing and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Brush the cheese with olive oil and place onto a medium hot grill for 2 minutes on each side, or until marked. Remove and slice into 1/2-inch pieces. Sprinkle with oregano. Drizzle the olive oil on top and squeeze the lemon juice over the cheese. Serve with grilled pita bread.

Steps:

• Put all the dressing ingredients in a bowl with 1 tbsp cold water and season with a pinch of salt. Mix together and set aside.
• Put the courgettes in a large bowl and drizzle with the oil. Add a pinch of salt, then toss.
• Heat a griddle pan to high and add the courgettes, cut-side down (it's best to do this in batches). Cook for 4-5 mins until char marks appear and the flesh softens, then flip over and cook for another 3 mins. Remove to a shallow bowl and cover with foil to keep warm.
• Meanwhile, heat a separate large non-stick frying pan and add the halloumi. Cook for a few minutes until golden on both sides.
• Arrange the courgettes and halloumi on a large plate or platter, then spoon over the dressing.

Steps:

• Heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a medium saucepan. Cook the onion and pepper for a few mins, then add the quinoa and cook for a further 3 mins. Add the stock, cover and turn the heat down to a simmer. Cook for 15 mins or until soft, then stir through half the parsley. Heat the grill.
• Meanwhile, mix the lemon zest and juice with the remaining parsley and oil, and a large pinch of sugar and salt. Grill the halloumi until both sides are golden and crisp. Serve the salad with the grilled halloumi and the dressing poured over everything.
