Cypriot Halloumi Wrap - so quick and simple to make!

As a girl with Greek-Cypriot heritage, there is only one cheese that matters… halloumi! I’ve been sent three recipes to try out, and this Halloumi Wrap is the first one that I will be sharing. It is so quick and simple, and is one of those foods you could easily make when camping, as the only thing that needs cooking is the halloumi cheese.

Halloumi is a semi-hard cheese, traditionally made from a mixture of sheep and goats milk. It has a salty flavour, and comes packed in brine. It’s become more popular in the UK over the past few years, and I love that I can now buy it in regular supermarkets, instead of having to head to one of the Greek shops in North London to buy it. It stores well, and can be frozen too. Because of its high melting point, it is great for grilling and frying. My personal favourite is slightly charred over hot coals, so this halloumi wrap would make a great vegetarian alternative to kebabs at a barbecue.
