If you steam the slightly instead of par boiling and let them completely dry you can get them very crispy. You need a high temperature though. Which can be difficult if you are cooking meat and have one oven. One good way to do it is with duck fat and olive oil. The olive oil helps with the crisping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber nudge+ Posted October 14, 2021 Subscriber Share Posted October 14, 2021 Nothing special, but I just fried some halloumi as a late night snack... Served with some tomatoes and lemon from the garden. Delicious. Will be even better alongside whisky next time. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was curious about it for some times now. I will probably give it a go next week. I'm more into Vegetarian cuisine these days anyway. Made veggie Frikadellen today, based on oatmeal and shredded cheese. They were surprisingly good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never had it friend (but it looks so good @nudge) - just grilled. But it's an excellent cheese. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s basmati rice with tadig (which is like crispy rice, I used bread as a base for the crispness because I’m lazy but if you want to go full autentico, you just use rice), then some chicken that I breaded and fried. And some charred tomatoes that are seasoned with a shitload of garlic, salt, pepper, and sumac. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Tommy Posted October 19, 2021 Author Moderator Share Posted October 19, 2021 Today I made Burritos, with ground beef, cheddar cheese, tomatoes, bell peper, onion, garlic and corn. It turned out really well. Fried the Burritos in a bit of butter after folding it, which added even more flavour. Tomorrow I'm finally going to try Halloumi! Will make a Couscous Salad and an Avocado Hummus on the side. Looking forward to it! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Tommy Posted October 20, 2021 Author Moderator Share Posted October 20, 2021 I'm terrible at arranging food or taking decent pictures of it. But here goes. Finally tried Halloumi! Very nice indeed. I fried it a bit too long maybe, as it was a bit squeaky on the teeth. But it tasted great. With that I made Couscous Salad, with cucumber, bell pepper, corn, sambal oelek etc. And Avocado Hummus (Avocado mashed with chickpeas, lemon, pepperoni and some olive oil). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is supposed to be a bit squeaky! It's squeaky even when it's not fried/grilled I personally would fry it longer, but looks great! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 If you liked that Halloumi @Tommy, try making some home made kebabs sometime. I did some with Chorizo, Tomatoes and Peppers on the kebab stick and a drizzle of sweet Chilli sauce over the Halloumi. Hits the spot. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm very sensitive when it comes to noises, so that squeaking was a bit off putting and irritating at first. But the taste made me ignore it a bit. And yea, next time I'll fry it longer. I had it in there quite some time and I didn't want to "overcook" it, but it could have had a bit more colour. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a stand in my city, that sells Kebabs with cheese instead of meat. It's supposed to be very good. Haven't had a chance to try it yet. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
