HALLOUMI, WATERMELON & MINT SALAD

Steps:

• Heat grill to high. Lay the cheese on a baking tray in a single layer, then grill for 2 mins on each side until golden. Toss the watermelon, beans and mint together with the lemon juice and olive oil, season well, then layer on plates with the slices of halloumi.
• Drizzle with a little more oil if you like, and then serve with warm pittas.

GRIDDLED HALLOUMI WITH WATERMELON & CAPER BREADCRUMBS

Steps:

• Cut the watermelon into either cubes or slices and transfer to a bowl with the shallots. Add 4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil and the balsamic, then season with fresh black pepper. Cover and put in the fridge for about 15-20 mins.
• Heat the remaining oil in a frying pan. Fry the breadcrumbs until turning gold. Add the garlic, chilli and capers and cook for another minute, then toss in the almonds. Remove from the heat, add the torn mint (it will wilt a little), then taste - it will be quite salty, but the watermelon won't be, so you'll get a good contrast.
• Brush the halloumi with a little oil and heat a griddle pan. Griddle the cheese on both sides until just starting to melt but still holding its shape, with nice golden griddle marks. Toss the cold watermelon and shallots with the rest of the mint leaves and some salt. Divide between four plates, or pile onto a platter. Put the hot halloumi on top. Squeeze over some lemon juice and top with some of the breadcrumb and caper mix. Serve immediately.

WATERMELON AND HALOUMI SALAD

Steps:

• 1. Heat 1-inch vegetable oil in a small saucepan to 350 degrees F. Fry the cheese until golden brown, 30 to 45 seconds, turning often. Remove to paper towels to drain.
• 2. Just before serving, toss the cheese in a large bowl with the watermelon and celery. Drizzle with the balsamic vinegar and olive oil.

GRILLED HALLOUMI AND WATERMELON KEBOBS

Steps:

• Set up your grill for direct heat by spreading the coals evenly along the bottom. On each skewer, alternately thread the halloumi and watermelon. Drizzle with olive oil and season with pepper. Place on the grill and char, about 1 minute. Flip and char the other side for 30 to 40 seconds. You are looking for grill marks on the watermelon and for the halloumi to get slightly soft. Remove to a platter and drizzle with hot honey. Sprinkle mint over the top and serve.

GRILLED WATERMELON AND HALLOUMI CHEESE "CROUTONS" WITH HERBS, FETA AND ARUGULA

Steps:

• Heat a grill pan over high heat until very hot.
• Sprinkle each slice of watermelon with salt and a pinch of sugar and grill quickly on each side, just until grill marks show and the fruit is lightly caramelized, about 1 minute per side. Arrange them on serving plates and sprinkle with crumbled feta, and salt and pepper, to taste. In a small bowl, toss the arugula and fresh herbs with olive oil, vinegar, lime zest, salt and pepper, to taste. Put small mounds on top of the grilled watermelon and feta. Just before serving, heat a small skillet over medium-high heat and quickly saute Halloumi until golden and crispy. Garnish each plate with the Halloumi cheese croutons and serve immediately.

GRILLED HALLOUMI SANDWICH WITH WATERMELON RELISH

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium-high heat.
• Drizzle the cheese with the olive oil and place on the grill. Grill the cheese until grill marks appear and it begins to melt slightly, about 2 minutes per side. Place the rolls on the grill and allow to lightly toast.
• Toss the watermelon, basil, mint and shallot in a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Toss the arugula with the lemon juice in another bowl and season with salt and pepper. Spread one side of the toasted rolls with olive tapenade. Layer the halloumi, watermelon relish and arugula on each roll and serve.

HALLOUMI & WATERMELON BULGUR SALAD

Steps:

• Boil the kettle. Put the bulgur wheat in a bowl with some seasoning, pour over enough hot water to just cover, then cover with cling film and set aside to absorb the liquid while you prepare the remaining ingredients.
• Heat a large frying pan and add the pumpkin seeds, toast for a few mins until the seeds start to crackle and pop, then tip into a dish and set aside. Heat a drizzle of oil in the pan. Add the halloumi slices and fry for 2-3 mins on each side or until golden.
• Unwrap the bulgur wheat and check that it is tender (if not, re-cover and leave for another 5 mins). All the water should have been absorbed, but if not, drain the excess. Add the remaining oil, the cucumber, herbs, lemon zest and juice, and pumpkin seeds to the bulgur wheat and toss well. Transfer to a platter, top with the watermelon and halloumi, and scatter with the reserved herbs.
