I recently found out that paneer also works, at 1/4 the price, just needs a little salt.

I may have gone through a few 1kg blocks recently....

I haven't heard of haloumi, what is it?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It’s cheese from Cyprus that fries without melting and has a neat squeaky feeling when you chew it. It’s perfect sliced and sauteed in a skillet with some butter. Finish it with some lemon juice for the traditional Cypriot style. The dense texture makes it ideal for tossing into salads. Fucking love halloumi.

I had a cheese once at a greek/breakfast place in my hometown that they brought out on a sizzling skillet, poured liquor on, lit on fire, then doused with lemon juice. Was that perhaps the same? I think they called it "saganaki" or something similar though (no idea about correct spelling)

Saganaki is just a Greek appetizer made of frying cheeses, sometimes including halloumi, but not necessarily. The way you describe it is one typical way it’s prepared.

Awesome, thanks for spreading some knowledge!

My ideal salad is a bowl of Hidden Valley ranch with a sprinkling of lettuce, carrots, and croutons

Duke's mayo doesn't count as mayo

This looks fly af.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Looks awesome! I’ve done similar salads and found that a pomegranate reduction is the perfect dressing for this type of combo. Think it’s time for another lunch…

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Looks great, I hope you'll enjoy.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Where can i buy one

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Halloumi is awesome!

[–] HulkSmashBurgers 2 points 1 month ago

I wonder how it'd be if I substituted the peaches with fig slices (or some other non-peach fruit) I'm not crazy about peaches

Fucking love halloumi
