Bbq Halloumi Wrapped In Red Pepper With Lemon Chilli Food

GRILLED HALLOUMI WITH SPICY-SWEET PEPPERS

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium high. Combine the roasted peppers, Calabrian chiles, garlic, lemon juice and olive oil in a small bowl. Season with salt, stir and set aside.
• Oil the grill grates. Grill the halloumi until well marked and warmed through, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove to a platter. Spoon the red pepper mixture over the cheese and top with basil and mint. Serve with bread.

SPICED GRILLED HALLOUMI

Steps:

• Prepare a charcoal grill for two-zone cooking over medium-high heat by pouring the coals onto one half of the grill. For a gas grill, heat all of the burners to high, then turn off one of the end burners before cooking.
• While the grill is heating, arrange the tomatoes on a platter with an edge to prevent leaking and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Drizzle with olive oil. Set aside. Pat halloumi dry and drizzle with olive oil to coat on both sides. Set aside.
• In a small skillet over medium-low heat, toast the coriander seeds, cumin seeds and red-pepper flakes, shaking often, until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and smash with the side of your knife until cracked. (You can also do this with a mortar and pestle.) Transfer to a small bowl, add the sugar, and rub with your fingers to further crush the seeds.
• When you're ready to grill, take the halloumi, tomatoes, seeds, tongs and a tightly folded paper towel soaked with olive oil to the grill. Clean the grates with a grill brush, then oil the grates with the paper towel. Grill the cheese over the flame, flipping halfway through, until well browned and it releases easily from the gates, 4 to 6 minutes total. (For a gas grill, close the lid between flips, listening and keeping an eye out for flare-ups.) If the cheese sticks to the grates, give it another minute on the heat. Transfer the cheese to the tomatoes, then sprinkle with the seeds. Season to taste with more red-pepper flakes, sugar and olive oil.

GRILLED HALLOUMI WRAPS

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and set a grill pan on top of the grate.
• Whisk together olive oil and lemon juice in a small bowl; set aside.
• Toss together bell pepper and onion in a small bowl. Mix in 1/2 of the oil mixture and season with salt, to taste. Transfer to the hot grill pan.
• Cook vegetables on the preheated grill until lightly charred but still firm to the bite, 5 to 6 minutes. Remove pan from the grill and allow vegetables to cool. Lower the grill temperature to medium.
• Brush halloumi cheese slices with the remaining oil mixture. Cook on the preheated grill, flipping carefully, until grill marks appear and cheese has softened slightly, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove from grill and place on an aluminum foil-covered plate to keep warm.
• Spread the tortillas with hummus and top with spinach. Divide the peppers and onions between the tortillas, add 2 halloumi slices to each tortilla, then top with olives. Roll up and serve immediately.

BBQ HALLOUMI WRAPPED IN RED PEPPER WITH LEMON & CHILLI

Steps:

• Grill or roast the red peppers whole until they begin to soften (if you like them skinned, keep going until you can skin them). You need them soft enough to wrap the cheese but not too soft or you won't be able to cook them again.
• Open out each red pepper by making a cut down one side and trim the tops and bottoms off so you end up with a strip.
• Put a slice of halloumi in the center of each strip.
• Sprinkle over some lemon zest and juice, divide the chilli, oregano and olive between them, then roll the red pepper around the halloumi. It doesn't matter if the cheese sticks out at each end.
• Tie the rolls with some kitchen string that you have soaked in water (or secure with a cocktail stick) and press down with the palm of your hand so they flatten slightly.
• Heat the barbecue.
• Barbecue the red peppers on both sides for 5 minutes or until they are starting to char and the cheese is softening and browning at the ends (keep an eye on the string as it could burn off).
