Halloumi is very salty and rubbery in texture, which probably doesn't

sound very appetising but it is wonderful, expecially when grilled.

It holds together well in cooking, so it is great marinated and

cooked on the George Foreman grill. I think I already posted this

recipe for halloumi fajitas, but if not here it is again. This

marinade would also be good with pressed tofu.

Halloumi Fajitas

 

500g (17.5 oz) halloumi cheese or tempeh, sliced

2 red onions, halved and cut into wedges

1 red pepper, cut into strips

I yellow pepper, cut into strips

1 green pepper, cut into strips

1 medium courgettes, quartered lengthways and then cut into chunks

200g (7 oz) button mushrooms

 

Marinade

2 cloves of garlic, crushed into a paste

1 Tbsp coarse sea salt

4 limes, grated zest of 2, juice of all 4

1 handful of fresh cilantro. chopped

½ tsp dried oregano

½ tsp dried chilli flakes

1 tsp cumin seeds

1 tsp sugar

1 Tbsp white wine vinegar

125 ml(1/2 cup) olive oil

125 ml(1/2 cup) dark rum

 

Crush garlic into a paste and put into a bowl with the rest of the

marinade ingredients except the oil. Whisk together and add oil in a

steady stream, whisking until emulsified.

Put halloumi or tempeh in a shallow dish, cover with marinade and

turn until coated.

Put the vegetables in a bowl with the rest of the marinade and mix

well. Cover both and marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.

Stack 8-10 large flour tortillas together, wrap in foil and warm in a

cool oven (Gas 2/150C/300F) for about 15 mins.

Heat a large frying pan or wok until very hot, add marinated

vegetables and liquid and stir-fry until liquid had evaporated and

veggies are golden (about 20 mins) Transfer to a heat-proof dish,

cover and keep warm in oven.

Drain halloumi or tempeh, discard marinade, put into frying pan in a

single layer, adding 3 Tbsp olive oil if using tempeh. Cook over a

moderate heat for about 10 minutes, turning half-way through, until

golden. Serve with guacamole, sour cream/crème fraiche or Greek

yoghurt.

Serves 4-5
