Grilled Halloumi
Grilled halloumi is moderate, from the lemon squeeze and the halloumi itself.
This is slices of halloumi cheese seared in olive oil and finished with oregano and lemon.
-
Lemon keeps it from being low — the citrus is here only as a small finishing squeeze, but as a liberator that amount is enough to hold the dish at moderate.
-
Halloumi sits in the middle — the cheese itself lands moderate, so it adds to the picture alongside the lemon, while the olive oil and oregano stay milder.
Grilled and served without the lemon, the plate leans on the cheese and oregano and comes out gentler.
