Halloumi Stuffed Red Pepper


Ingredients:

4 red peppers
200 grams block halloumi cheese, sliced into 4
1 red chilli, finely chopped
1 teaspoon dried oregano
4 black olives, cut into slivers
1 lemon, zest and juice

How to cook:

Halloumi is a kind of cheese (salty one) from Cyprus. I like it a lot. Especially when we make breakfast with my wife on Sundays. I just grill it and eat with fried eggs. 

Grill the red peppers until they begin to soften. Open out each red pepper by making a cut down one side and trim the tops and bottoms off so you end up with a strip. Put a slice of halloumi in the center of each strip. Sprinkle over some lemon zest and juice, divide the chilli, oregano and olive between them, then roll the red pepper around the halloumi. It doesn't matter if the cheese sticks out at each end. Tie the rolls with some kitchen string that you have soaked in water and press down with the palm of your hand so they flatten slightly. Grill the red peppers on both sides for 5 minutes. Kali oreksi!
