I saw Hugh-Fearnley Whittingstall make this recently on River Cottage Everyday. I usually [[Grill|grill]] or [[Barbecue|barbecue]] halloumi but this is another interesting way to cook a much underrated [[Cheese|cheese]]. If you've never used it before, it's great fun. It squeaks on your teeth when you eat it. It will never melt so you can cook it ways you could never cook normal cheese. It is available in all supermarkets.

Despite what Hugh says on his recipe page, do not add any [[Salt|salt]] to this recipe or anything that you are serving it with as halloumi is already very salty. This goes very well with a [[Greek salad]].

===Serving suggestions===
Serve hot with a [[Greek salad]]
===Variations===
These could also be brushed wi th oil and [[barbecued]]. The cheese won't melt.

I can't live without chilli, so, 1 teaspoon of [[chilli powder]] in addition to the [[paprika]], lifts this from smoky, to hot and smoky!
