Halloumi is a pleasantly salty Greek cheese that grills well. Ingredients:
1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil |
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh mint |
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin |
1/2 pound halloumi cheese,* cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices |
16 white or whole wheat mini pitas |
2 ripe medium tomatoes, cored, halved, cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices |
sea salt |
Directions:
1. Whisk 1 teaspoon oil, mint, cumin, and pinch of freshly ground black pepper in medium bowl to blend. Add cheese slices; toss to coat. Marinate at room temperature at least 30 minutes and up to 2 hours. DO AHEAD: Can be made 2 days ahead. Cover; chill.
2. Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Grill pitas until warm and grill marks appear, about 1 minute per side; transfer to serving plate. Grill cheese until grill marks appear and cheese begins to melt, about 1 minute per side. Stack each warm pita with slice of tomato and cheese. Drizzle with oil and sprinkle tomatoes lightly with sea salt.
3. * Available at some supermarkets and at specialty foods stores, natural foods stores, and Greek markets.
