Recipe Tips

TIP 01 Tip 01

Experiment with a splash of balsamic vinegar or a dash of mustard for an extra flavour kick.

TIP 02 Tip 02

Consider adding nuts like toasted almonds or seeds such as sunflower or pumpkin seeds for crunch.

TIP 03 Tip 03

Make sure to braai the halloumi on a medium-high heat. If it's too high, it will burn before getting a golden crust.
