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.
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.
Looks delicious! I really have to find where to buy Halloumi back to home… xx cathy
It is definitely worth hunting down.
Yuuuummm!!!! I go absolutely nuts over haloumi and the kids do too. I’ll definitely try this recipe. I like to eat mine with gnocchi, so this will go down a treat 🙂 #teamIBOT
O M G – with gnocchi sounds delicious. I was away for the weekend and I had some smashed avocado with sautéed mushrooms and haloumi and that went down a treat!
This looks delicious – i love haloumi and anytime I can get another way to eat it – I’m there.
Thanks Natalie – it sure is a delicious way to enjoy your haloumi 🙂
This sounds awesome! My husband doesn’t really like haloumi but I reckon he might give this a go. If not, then there is more for me!
O M G – who doesn’t love haloumi? I recommend that you don’t introduce it to your husband, Kylie – keep it all for yourself… IT IS THAT GOOD!
You had me at haloumi! I love the simplicity of this dish and how good is yoghurt dough? We make all our pizzas with it and it really is the bomb diggity!
Haloumi is so DELICIOUS and this recipe is rediciously simple and yet packs a flavour punch! Yoghurt dough is also amazing. So simple and yet it always works!
Aha, this would work for us. My hubby is veggie and he and I both love haloumi. I’ve only ever fried it or grilled it, have never tried this sort of cooking in sauce, so will give it a bash. Hello via IBOT.
I’m so glad that I could provide you with a little inspiration Seana 🙂 This is delicious and perfect served up with some pita bread and a little greek salad to make a full ‘meal’ – especially if your husband is vegetarian.
