For those of you who have never tried Saganaki or Haloumi, your time starts now! For the rest of you I’m preaching to the converted, so you already know what is below…
This cheese is awesome. It takes three minutes from fridge to feast.
It is not a strong cheese, it is just delicious. It is so good the manufacturers have to limit each pack to two pieces only, which is the right quantity!
It can be served as an appetiser in Greek restaurants, but if the Greek restaurant is not open, bring the restaurant to you! Saganaki and Haloumi are available at all Maxi stores.
How to cook:
- warm stovetop frypan on medium heat. Don’t add oil just yet,
- open refrigerated pack, there are two pieces which require delicate separation,
- soak for a minute in bowl of warm water,
- remove from water and dust in both sides with flour,
- add a tablespoon of olive oil to your frypan,
- when the oil has heated, add the cheese slices, pan fry for about a minute on each side until they are a delicious golden colour.
- eat them whilst they’re hot!
So Good!
Be game and try Saganaki.
