On a sandwich or a cracker. I'd choose brie or cheddar as well. But battered and deep fried, or cooked in breadcrumbs, it's halloumi for the win.

Dodgyknees Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Today I'm eating meat to celebrate.... Obviously I am not. World Vegan Day means a nice home cooked meal, including a carrot and butternut squash soup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose vegans could substitute some chick peas and cashews for the halloumi, maybe add some pumpkin seeds and flax seeds. Break a cauliflower into florets, saute in extra virgin olive oil for a couple of minutes on fairly high heat (not so hot the oil smokes, it would spoil it), add some caraway seeds, chilli flakes, 2 cloves sliced garlic, salt and pepper. Add a bit of water, cover the pan, cook for 3 or 4 minutes on a slightly lower heat (hot enough to be steaming the cauli). Cut halloumi into slices, spread on plate and coat with extra virgin oil, 2 tsp za'atar and some chilli flakes, then cook briefly on a hot ridged griddle pan (or another frying pan would do). While that is cooking, add 200-300 gm washed spinach to the cauliflower, replace lid, cook until wilted. (If using precooked chick peas and nuts/seeds, add them to the pan to warm through as well, together with the za'atar). Serve with thick yogurt and pitta bread. And that's it. Even better if you make your own pitta bread, though you would have to start that off some hours previously. If you want to do that, then dissolve 10gm dried yeast in 240gm water (mix one third boiling and two thirds cold, to give a temp warm enough to encourage the yeast and not so hot as to kill it). Add the water/yeast mix to 400gm strong bread flour, 10gm salt, 10gm extra virgin oil, mix well and knead briefly, then leave in a bowl for 3 or 4 hours, covered with oiled clingfilm (so the clingfilm doesn't stick to the dough). Heat oven to 240c, cut dough into 6 or 8 pieces, roll out in pitta shapes, put on lined baking tray and bake for 6 minutes. A thick baking tray, pre-heated, will give better results, but it also works on a thin one without pre-heating. You want them very slightly browned in places - I have to turn mine round half way because the oven cooks very unevenly, but they don't need turning over. If you have a see-through oven door, little kids like seeing the bread balloon up. But bake the bread just before you cook the rest, or else there's a lot going on at the same time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peterms Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Anyway, never mind vegans, let's hear about the all-beef diet and its obvious benefits. You too can be like this man, if you simply eat beef, and only beef. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted November 2, 2018 Author VT Supporter Share Posted November 2, 2018 I can't see the clip, but how can someone not explode if they're only eating beef? I assume he means he has beef with every meal, as opposed to he literally just eats beef and nothing else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
