Grilled Halloumi with Herbed Berry Salsa Recipe
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Ingredients:
- 4 ounces fresh blueberries
- 3 ounces red currants
- 3 tablespoons chopped fresh mint, divided
- 3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro, divided
- 1 tablespoon fresh marjoram, stems removed
- 1 habanero pepper, seeded and minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons agave syrup
- 2 limes, divided
- cup cashews
- 8 ounces halloumi cheese, cut into 8 slices
Directions:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the blueberries and red currants.
- Add 2 tablespoons of mint, 2 tablespoons of cilantro, the marjoram, habanero pepper, olive oil, agave syrup, and the juice of one lime. Mix everything together and set aside to allow the flavors to meld.
- Place a nonstick griddle or skillet on medium-high heat. Add the cashews and cook, stirring often to prevent burning, for about 8 to 10 minutes, or until they are lightly browned. Transfer the cashews to a plate and set them aside.
- Reduce the heat to medium. Place the halloumi cheese slices on the griddle and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until golden brown and slightly crispy on the edges.
- Once cooked, place the halloumi cheese slices on a serving plate. Top with the berry salsa mixture and garnish with the remaining 1 tablespoon of mint and cilantro.
- Chop the cooked cashews and sprinkle them over the halloumi and salsa for a crunchy texture.
- Cut the second lime into wedges and serve alongside the dish. Serve immediately and enjoy!
