BBQ Grilled Halloumi
Halloumi cheese is an iconic ingredient in Mediterranean cuisine, mainly consumed in Cyprus, Greece and Turkey. Due to its high melting point, it is perfect for grilling, as it becomes crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside. Combined with BBQ sauce, you get an exciting, smoky flavor that is the perfect addition to a summer barbecue or light vegetarian dinner. Tip: If you want an even smokier taste, try adding a little smoked salt or smoked chili to the marinade.

3
Brush the halloumi slices with the marinade and let them sit for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
4
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium heat and lightly brush with olive oil to prevent the cheese from sticking.

Garnish the grilled halloumi with fresh parsley and serve with extra BBQ sauce. Perfect for salads or alongside grilled vegetables.
