49. Around The World in 80 BBQs - Cyprus

This week we're off to Cyprus for the next leg of our #aroundtheworldin80bbqs journey.

We've adapted a Cypriot favorite using one of our favourite BBQ rubs - the Peppery rub from Spicentice.

This easy dish working brilliantly as a side, in a salad or even instead of a patty as a vegetarian burger.

Full of flavour and so easy.

 

MAIN INGREDIENTS Halloumi Spice Rub Rapeseed Oil

EQUIPMENT You can create this dish using any Weber BBQ; charcoal or gas. We've used the following: Weber Genesis II LX 4 Burner Gas BBQ BBQ Tongs Non Stick Spray (helps prevent the halloumi from sticking) Large Drip Trays (6416)

 

IN THE KITCHEN

• Slice halloumi into pieces of even size and thickness
• Drizzle with an oil of your choosing with a high smoke point - we've used rapeseed oil.
• Coat in a rub or spice mix of your choice, we recommend the peppery rub from spicentice which was delicious.

AT THE BBQ

• Set up your Weber BBQ for direct grilling at a medium heat.
• Using Weber's non-stick spray give the bbq grates a good coating; this will ensure that you still achieve excellent searing but helps prevent food from sticking the cooking grates and falling apart when flipped.
• Add the halloumi slices and close the lid for 1-2 minutes.
• Turn over and cooking for a further minutes or do - until cooked to your liking.

ON THE PLATE

This is such a versatile little dish that can be easily adapted for a myriad of meals, here are some ideas:

• Slice into strips and serve with a dip.
• Serve simply as a side dish at your next backyard BBQ get together.
• Roughly chop and work into a salad
• Use instead of a burger patty in a bun, great as a vegetarian alternative.
