Halloumi With Chilli

I've tried so many cheese but has only been introduced to Halloumi by Nigella. It taste close to melted butter with a touch of salt. Try it! It will change how you view cheese. The taste good be a combination of mozerella and melted butter. Heavenly! I like to eat it with bruscgetta or just toasted french bread. I tend to change the menu a bit. I mix the chilli below with with finely chopped shrimp. Nice! Or springle tiny bits of lemon zest. Use coloured roasted pepper with sesame seed. Give it a try and change it a bit. The original Nigella's version is below.

I love grilled or fried halloumi, that squeaky, salty, polystyrene-textured cheese. Not a very seductive way of describing it maybe, but that, indeed, is what it’s like. You should have no difficulty finding it, and this is a doddle to make and utterly addictive.

Ingredients
Tablespoons chopped, de-seeded fresh red chilli (about 2 medium chillies)

60ml (4 tablespoons)

extra-virgin olive oil

2 x 250g packets of halloumi,
sliced medium-thin (i.e., just under half a centrimetre)
Juice of quarter lemon

Method
Mix the chopped chilli and olive oil in a small bowl or cup and leave the flavours to deepen while you cook the cheese. I use a non-stick frying pan for this, without any oil, and just give the cheese slices about 2 minutes a side until they're golden-brown in parts. When all the slices of halloumi are cooked, transfer them to a couple of small plates. Give the chilli oil a stir, spoon it over the cheese, then give a spritz of lemon. That's all there is to it.Makes about 30.
