Halloumi cheese comes from Cyprus, where its average consumption per capita is 8 kg per year. It is a white, semi-hard cheese made from unpasteurised sheep's milk, from a mixture of sheep and goats, possibly with the addition of cow's milk. Halloumi taste is sometimes enriched with the addition of mint. The recipe for its production has been unchanged for centuries. A characteristic feature is a fairly elastic consistency and a high melting temperature, which makes the cheese perfectly tolerate barbecuing or frying. It is quite salty, because 3% of its weight is salt, so if we intend to use a halloumi for a dish, we do not give it anymore. Halloumi is very popular in Greece, the Middle East, Europe and the United States, but the best quality Halloumi must come from Cyprus.
Although you can also buy this cheese in our stores, however, before that it's worth to look at its label and read where it was made. This is quite important because, due to its growing popularity, some countries are trying to produce it, but not always with a good effect. After repeated tests with a clear conscience, we can only recommend Greek products because they retain their properties. Others can simply melt when trying to grill.
The preparation of grilled halloumi is simple and fast. Cut the cheese into slices approximately 1 centimeter wide and lubricate on both sides with olive oil. Warm up a cast iron grill pan until a little bit of oil placed on it starts to smoke. Then we reduce the fire a little and put the slices of cheese. We grill about 1 minute on each side. Repeat the griiling process until you see clear brown stripes on the slices.
We can serve grilled cheese with garlic bread or as an addition to vegetable dishes. Cypriots mastered the combination of halloumi with other ingredients and have dozens of dishes with this cheese. They serve it most often with vegetables or fruit, but also as an addition to pork or lamb.
Insane taste, cheerful green, eye-catching young bean paste is one of the simple and quick to prepare meze
When looking for new ways to prepare asparagus, we took inspiration for the Greek cuisine. Although they are not included in the traditional ingredients of Greek cuisine, the modern Greeks eat these vegetables and have their own ways of preparing them. Following them, we have prepared a slightly original recipe, in which simplicity, olive oil and feta reign. In our opinion, a fantastic dish came out of it.
Fava is a popular appetizer in Greece somewhat similar to hummus, but unlike it, it is made from yellow-skinned peas. Fava is easy to prepare and can be served both hot and cold, for example with pita bread.

My także mamy w planach Cypr, póki co jednak Kreta prawie zawsze wygrywa.

To tak jak u nas ;)
Nawet jak mieliśmy (chyba 2 lata temu) pojechać na Kefalonie, to "zrobili" tam trzęsienie ziemii i musieliśmy zamienić na Kretę :D

W Polsce można kupić cypryjskie halloumi w sieci sklepów Kuchnie Świata i bywa też w Makro. Są też halloumi produkcji niemieckiej ale tych nie polecamy.
