Halloumi is a type of cheese that has a mixture of softness, saltiness, and stringy texture. An excellent choice in creating a lovely crispy cheese at home.

Ingredients:

Avocado Mash
1 piece Avocado
100 g White beans, cooked
1 piece Jalapeno
1 piece Lime
1 pinch Salt
Halloumi Waffle
250 g Halloumi
2½ tsp. Potato flour
Pickled Cucumber
1 piece Cucumber
1 piece Red chili
1 tsp. Salt
Pickle juice
100 g Swedish vinegar
200 g Agave syrup
200 g Water
Garnish
30 g Cilantro

Directions:

Step 1

Peel cucumber and slice in half. Remove the core and seeds by scooping them out, then slice thinly (1/10 inch/3 mm) on a mandolin. Put in an airtight glass jar with salt and shake it so the salt evens out.

Step 2

Slice the chili into thin rings and put it in the same jar.

Step 3

Bring vinegar, agave syrup and 1/3 water to a boil. Leave to cool to room temperature. Pour the liquid over the cucumber with the remaining 2/3 water and close the lid.

Step 4

Cut the avocado in half and remove the pit. Scoop out straight into a blender together with lime juice, a chopped jalapeno, a pinch of salt and beans. Mix until smooth.

Step 5

Grate the halloumi and put the cheese in a plastic container with a lid but without closing it. Add the potato flour, close the lid and give it a good shake.
