Baked Halloumi with Mint and Sumac
Halloumi is a salty, firm cheese from Cyprus that holds its shape when grilled. In this easy but impressive appetizer, halloumi is marinated briefly with mint and purple, lemony sumac, then baked before served with lemon wedges.
Ingredients
- 1 bunch fresh mint
- 1 garlic clove, finely chopped
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sumac
- 3 1/2 ounces halloumi, sliced into 8 pieces
Garnish
- lemon wedges
Instructions
- Mix together the mint, garlic, olive oil, and sumac. Arrange the haloumi slices in a shallow ovenproof dish. Pour the dressing over them, turning so each slice is covered. Let marinate for 10 minutes.
- Preheat the broiler on a high setting.
- Put the dish under the broiler and broil the halloumi for 4 minutes on each side, or until golden and the edges become crisp. Remove from the heat and serve warm with lemon wedges.
