Recipe: Halloumi in a simple tomato sauce

August 30, 2016 by Shari 12 Comments

Do you like halloumi? I have a little bit of a pregnancy craving for it at the moment! This post from the BBC about ‘9 ways to serve halloumi‘ is of great interest to me! I think that the halloumi stuffed peppers sound really good and shall have to make an appearance in my meal plan shortly. 

But your halloumi doesn’t need to be fancy to be delicious. I whipped up this halloumi in a simple tomato sauce and it went down a treat. Perfect eaten with some toast pitta breads.

The dough recipe that I have been using of late is from @Maybe_Rosie on Instagram. It is super simple – 2:1 recipe, 2 cups self-raising flour, 1 cup greek yoghurt. And then all you need to do is quickly fry them off in a little coconut oil and you’re done.

GoodFoodWeek's simple haloumi in tomato sauce

HALLOUMI IN A SIMPLE TOMATO SAUCE

150 grams of halloumi
1 red onion
3 cloves of garlic
1/2 bunch of flat leaf parsley
1/2 bunch of oregano
1 tin of crushed tomatoes
1 tbsp of olive oil

Bring a frying pan with the red onion, garlic, stalks of the parsley, oregano, crushed tomatoes and olive oil to a simmer. Simmer for approximately 20 minutes – adding a little water if the sauce starts to catch or become too thick.

Slice the halloumi into 0.5cm slices and make small holes in the sauce to place them. Lay the halloumi in the spaces and cook for 15 minutes or until the halloumi has melted slightly.

Serve toped with fresh parsley sprinkled on top.

Have you ever whipped up a recipe from my blog? I would love for you to let me know…So I don’t feel as if I am just writing all this stuff down for nothing… If you choose to whip up one of my recipes , then I would love for you to share it on social media, and don’t forget to use the hashtag #goodfoodweek.

Shari from GoodFoodWeek

GoodFoodWeek started in 2008 as a way of sharing recipes with uni friends and family who were spread near and far. It has evolved over the years to contain my ramblings as I’ve searched for a house, planned the perfect veggie patch, stumbled through farmer’s markets with my eye half open (because you need to be there at 6am to get the fresh eggs), had babies, gathered family and friends around a shared table, laughed out loud and enjoyed life to the fullest!
