Ingredients

  • about 225 g Halloumi cheese
  • about 113 g Guava paste
  • 2 tablespoons Water
  • 1 tablespoon Olive oil

Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.

Instructions

  1. 1Slice the about 225 g of Halloumi cheese into about 0.64 cm thick slices.
  2. 2In a small saucepan, combine the about 113 g of Guava paste and 2 tablespoons of Water. Heat this mixture over low heat, stirring constantly, until the guava paste is completely melted and smooth. This should take about 3-5 minutes.
  3. 3Preheat your grill to medium heat, which is approximately 175-200°C. Lightly brush the grill grates with 1 tablespoon of Olive oil to prevent sticking.
  4. 4Place the halloumi slices onto the preheated grill. Grill for 2-3 minutes per side. You are looking for the cheese to become golden brown and slightly softened.
  5. 5Using a brush, generously coat the grilled halloumi slices with the warm guava paste glaze. Serve immediately.
