What does this mean?

Nigella has included halloumi in her TV series and her books. It is a rich creamy cheese which is ideal for both grilling and frying and is readily available now in supermarkets. Although have travelled extensively in Turkey and been to Cyprus many times, I came upon this recipe for the first time this summer. It is simple and quick to produce and ideal as a Mezze dish, starter, party or buffet addition. I did eat it without the vegetable ingredient but you need it to cut the blandness of the cheese.

Ingredients

Switch to Cup Measures
  • pitta breads
  • halloumi
  • red peppers

Method

  1. Cut the cheese into slices about an eighth of an inch thick and cut the pepper into similar size pieces.
  2. Grill both the cheese and the pepper either under the grill or on a griddle. The pepper will need longer.
  3. Meanwhile, warm or toast the pita and then cut into quarters.
  4. Place a slice of cheese and a slice of pepper inside the pita so it forms a little envelope parcel. Serve.

You could use tinned or bottled grilled peppers or grill/fry sliced tomatoes instead!
