I have been so busy lately that I had no time for blogging, or visiting other blogs much (sorry!). And no time for taking photos of food either, or preparing photogenic dishes, for that matter. The other day I cooked some silver beet (chard), leaves and stalk separately. We had the leaves as a side, hot and dressed with some Japanese soy sauce and lemon juice, and I kept the stalks for the day after. I love lemon juice and have plenty of lemons now, this recipe is so simple that it is not even a 'recipe' but it is all I have time to post now, and I can assure you that it is magic!
Lemon and Thyme Halloumi with Chards
Ingredients:
2 tbsp olive oil
1 block of plain halloumi cheese
A few chard stalks, boiled in salted water and drained
Fresh lemon juice
Fresh thyme
Heat the olive oil in a frying pan and then sauté the holloumi on both sides until the edges start to colour. Remove the Halloumi from the pan and add the chard stalks. Sauté them quickly too. Cut the halloumi in slices and place back over the piping hot chard stalks, drench with lemon juice, add fresh thyme and serve immediately. Everybody will ask you what you put in it!!!

Rieccomi!Ciao ALe!Beh, la mia cucina è messa peggio, praticamente in sciopero!!!Se non per cose basic visto il caldo Milanese :)
ReplyDeletePonte di legno è quello in Valle Camonica, dove eri stata tu!Mi manca il clima della montagna, accidenti!
Ti mando un bacione e mi segno questa bella idea, I love lemon juice too!Bacione
That looks great. I love haloumi.
ReplyDeleteQuanto mi piace l'halloumi! E pure questa tua foto è bellissima!
ReplyDeletepiatto molto semplice, credo che siano i più difficili da fare. mi piace molto l'aspetto del tuo soprattutto lo sfondo blu sta veramente bene :)
ReplyDeletenon conosco questo formaggio, sai per caso se in Italia c'è? (non che lo voglia provare, ma per sapere cos'è). grazie.
Sicuramente lo trovi nei negozi greci, altrimenti ho la ricetta di come si fa in casa qui (basta fare ricerca Halloumi). Ma puoi usare benissimo il tofu, tofu che con il limone e' buonissimo!
DeleteCiao Ale, leggo che sei indaffaratissima, spero per cose comunque piacevoli e positive...io da lunedì tornerò al lavoro :(((
ReplyDeleteSpero solo che diminuiscano un pò le temperature, ma tra un pò ci lamenteremo del freddo!

ReplyDeleteCan you believe that I have never had halloumi cheese? Yours with chards looks so very tempting!
