They call these grilling cheeses but it's not grilling as on a
barbeque - I don't think that would work at all. Halloumi - the first one we encountered, wonderful flavor, grills well. Kasserri - recommended as a substitute for Halloumi. We didn't like it - fell apart in the fry pan. And now the latest we've found, something called Yanni Grilling Cheese. Ingredients are listed as pasteurized, grade A milk, non-animal kosher rennet, and salt. In the local WF, which is where we bought it, it costs $4/lb less than halloumi, and both my wife and I like the flavor better - it's less salty although still salty enough, and it's positively sweet tasting when grilled. (Of course, $4/lb less than WF price for halloumi might just be another store's regular price for halloumi but that's another conversation...) Uses for grilled cheese - I'm aware of two so far. By far, our most popular use is in salads, e.g., last night I had a salad as my main course and it included this Yanni cheese. I made a warm dressing by using the oil I'd fried the cheese in as the oil for my salad dressing, poured it straight from the frying pan, then adding a bit of red wine vinegar. The rest of the salad: mostly iceberg lettuce, which I prefer to every other kind, I'm afraid, unfashionable as iceberg lettuce seems to be. I used the same frying pan, after the cheese was fried, to reheat some leftover caramelized onions and a diced up a few slices of deli black forest ham in there as well. My wife has oven-roasted a cookie sheet of asparagus, small tomatoes, and mushroom, so some of those went into the salad, too. And a few other fresh veggies, e.g., some sliced red and yellow peppers and a few sliced/diced scallions. Just delicious! The second use I'm aware of for fry-able cheese is as a meat substitute - people take a hamburger-sized piece and make it the main thing in a sandwich. I've had - it's good. -S- |
