Grilled Halloumi And Minted Zucchini Sandwiches Recipes

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.

GRILLED HALLOUMI AND VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Prepare a hot grill. Cut halloumi into 8 to 12 slabs, about 1/3- to 1/2-inch thick. Cut peppers into wide pieces, slicing from top to bottom along the natural indentations. Discard seeds. Cut pieces in half crosswise. Slice the zucchini and eggplant on the diagonal, into 1/4- to 1/3-inch-thick rounds.
• Season all vegetables with salt and pepper. Brush vegetables and halloumi with olive oil.
• Grill vegetables until tender and nicely charred, turning occasionally. If you'd like, use an outdoor grill pan to keep them from slipping through the grate. Scallions will be ready after 3 to 4 minutes. Peppers, zucchini and eggplant take about 10 minutes. Arrange on a platter.
• Grill halloumi, turning occasionally, for 2 to 6 minutes, until grill marks appear. When you press on the cheese, it should give but it should not be runny.
• Remove cheese to the platter with vegetables and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle cheese and vegetables with herbs and sumac, if you'd like, and serve.
