Halloumi and butternut squash?

Chaos_Monkey

I love Halloumi! That's pretty much all I eat when I'm in Cyprus, and still eat it on a regular basis now I don't live there. We're actually having it for tea tonight

It doesn't really need any oil, as it releases enough liquid to cook itself when in a non-stick pan. I always used to use oil, and it can make one helluva mess. Kitchkitty is right though - it's not quite so nice when overdone. Word of warning though, it has a slightly rubbery texture - this is normal!

It goes so well with tomatoes, salad or salsa (tesc* fresh salsa is best IMO) with pitta breads. Ahh, wish we could get decent salsa here!

Right, off to make the salad

Oh yes it so does...we nicknamed it "squeaky cheese" :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:because it can squeak when you bite it especially if it's started to cool a little.

Halloumi/Helim is lovely with watermelon

Echo halloumi with watermelon I do a salad with halloumi, watermelon, red onion and chili oil. Yummy!

My mum does a ?Nigella recipe with butternut squash roasted with Stilton and walnuts and serves it with sausages, roasted in honey, wholegrain mustard and oil. It is such a simple meal, but very yummy! She sometimes serves it with jacket potatoes. Ultimate comfort food!

I also love squash and blue cheese risotto and roasted butternut squash and ginger soup

Hungry now!!
