We first discovered the wonders of halloumi shortly after moving to Brisbane.

Twice a month in New Farm they have the farmers markets outside the old powerhouse (which has been converted into a performing arts space, bar and restaurant). At these markets you can get great local fresh produce as well as taste many gourmet products from various small independent suppliers. Olympus Cheese is our halloumi supplier of choice. We sampled the quality of their product every visit to the market and were never disappointed. While it may not be easy for everyone to get, we recommend those who can use nothing else. This is great with a chilled glass of wine or beer before dinner, or after a late night out as a midnight snack.

Ingredients

olive oil
halloumi sliced approx 1cm thick
oregano
lemon juice

Method

Heat oil in pan or on bbq (on medium heat) and place in halloumi. Cook until golden brown on each side.

Place on a serving tray/plate, sprinkle with oregano and lemon juice. Enjoy.
