Merry-me Haloumi

If you know Merry-me Chicken, you know what I am writing about.

A tasty vegetarian version, even for me who usually steps far out of the way, when I should eat Haloumi. Especially the one from a BBQ. Tough like rubber.

But here the Haloumi was seasond and baked in olive oil first, taken out of the pan and later drenched with the sauce.

The Merry-me sauce is very simple, but so tasty. Just a couple of very basic ingredients and seasoning and some fresh herbs. The whole dish just takes 20 minutes from start to finish.

I had some Italian bread at home. That was very good to mop up the sauce.

Recipe for 2:

200 g Haloumi

Seasoning salt

2 tbsp olive oil

1 onion, 3 cloves of garlic

200 g tomato passata

60 g double cream

Italian seasoning, salt and pepper

Fresh basil and parsley

When the slices of Haloumi are done, get them out and toss in chopped onion and garlic. Let it get translucent and season with salt and pepper. Pour in tomato passata and cream and stir well. Add Italian seasoning. Put the Haloumi back in. Finish with basil and parsley
