Halloumi And Potato Stew Recipes

DOUBLE POTATO AND HALLOUMI BAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Cut the sweet potato into rough 1 1/2-inch cubes and the red potato slightly smaller (1-inch cubes) as the sweet potato will cook more quickly. Halve the red onion, then cut each half into 4 to 6 segments, discarding any tough outer skin. Seed the peppers and cut into 1-inch squares, and separate the cloves of garlic. Put everything into a 2-quart flameproof casserole dish, or whatever you want to use (it should be big, otherwise use 2 dishes) and, using your hands, give the vegetables a good coating of olive oil. Season with black pepper, but no salt as the cheese will make it salty (and anyway, the salt will make water leach out).
• Bake for 45 minutes, by which time the vegetables should be cooked through and here and there tinged with brown. You'll need to turn the oven up to maximum heat or light the broiler for the endgame: so place the thinly sliced cheese on top of the bake, and put it back in the very hot oven or under the broiler until the cheese has melted and turned slightly brown on top, about 5 to 10 minutes. Serve straight out of the casserole dish.

SWEET POTATO, SPINACH, AND HALLOUMI CURRY

Steps:

• Place sweet potatoes into a large pot and cover with water; bring to a boil. Cook until tender, about 6 minutes. Drain.
• Combine sweet potatoes, tomatoes, curry powder, chili powder, and cumin in a saucepan over medium heat and bring to a simmer. Add coconut milk, spinach, chile pepper, bouillon cube, and chili jam. Simmer until curry starts to thicken and has cooked down a little, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, fry halloumi in a skillet over medium heat until browned, 4 to 6 minutes. Add cooked halloumi and chickpeas to curry and heat through, about 5 minutes.

BEAN & HALLOUMI STEW

Steps:

• Heat 2 tbsp of oil in a frying pan over a medium heat. Add the onion and pepper, along with a pinch of salt and fry for 10 mins or until softened. Add the garlic, pesto and ground coriander, and cook for 1 min. Tip in the beans and tomatoes along with ½ can of water, then bring to a simmer and cook uncovered for 10 mins.
• Add the remaining oil to a separate frying pan over a medium heat. Fry the halloumi for 2 mins on each side or until golden brown.
• Taste the beans for seasoning, then spoon into deep bowls. Top with the halloumi and scatter over the chopped coriander. Serve with garlic bread, if you like.

SWEET POTATOES WITH RED PEPPER & HALLOUMI

Steps:

• Rub each potato with a little oil and salt, then wrap in a double layer of foil.
• Pour the oil into a bowl and stir in the mint. Add the halloumi and toss until well coated in the minty oil. Wrap each piece in a strip of pepper. Cut four lengths of foil about 1cm wide and wrap one around the middle of each parcel to hold them together. You could use skewers instead, but be careful not to split the cheese.
• Heat the barbecue. When the coals glow red, put the potatoes directly on them. Cook for 30 mins, turning halfway. Unwrap a potato and check if it is cooked through. If not, rewrap and cook more, checking every 10 mins. Alternatively, bake in the oven at 200C/180C fan/gas 6 for 50 mins-1 hr.
• Meanwhile cook the pepper parcels on the barbecue or a griddle pan for 3-4 mins each side or until the pepper chars and the cheese melts a bit. Remove from the grill and unwind the foil or remove the skewers. Split the potatoes, add butter if you like, then lay a parcel in the centre of each. Add a squeeze of lemon and scatter over some parsley to serve.

HALLOUMI AND POTATO STEW

Steps:

• In a ovenproof casserole pan gently fry the shallots, pepper and leek, add the cherry tomatoes, olives, halloumi cheese, all the potatoes, pour over the stock and stir in the pesto and chilies.
• Place in the oven and cook at 400 degrees F for 40 minutes.

KOREAN CHICKEN & POTATO STEW

Steps:

• Place everything in pot. Bring to boil, reduce heat to low and simmer 45 minutes. You can brown the chicken first if you like.

HAM AND POTATO STEW

Steps:

• Dice the bacon and ham into large pieces. Set ham aside.
• Brown the bacon and remove from pan.
• Chop celery and carrots and add to bacon grease, cook 5 minutes.
• Chop onion, garlic, and potatoes (1/4 inch dice) and add, along with the reserved ham, to carrots and celery. Cook an additional 5 minutes, just to brown the ham and potatoes slightly.
• Drain any remaining grease from the vegetable/ham mixture and move to a Dutch oven.
• Add rosemary, thyme, chicken base, water, and salt (to taste).
• Bring to a boil and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until potatoes are just barely done.
• Add heavy cream and simmer 5 minutes, until potatoes are completely cooked.
• Turn off heat, toss in spinach and stir until spinach is wilted.
• Serve with your favorite garlic breadsticks.
