ery time we post a recipe with halloumi, we get a lot of questions about it. Look, halloumi is amazing. It’s a semi-hard, brined cheese, that’s fantastic when fried or grilled. If you can’t find it in your area, then try frying up some queso fresco. And, if you haven’t tried frying queso fresco either then you need to get on that immediately – it will change your life.
