Crochete de Halloumi / Halloumi cheese fries

Crochete de Halloumi. Deci acest aperitiv e unul din cele mai bune chestii pe care le-am mancat in ultimul timp, sunt DEMENTA, iar pt fanii branza, curcubeu pe cerul gurii :D Nu imi vine sa cred ce simpla e reteta, dar cat de bune sunt aceste crochete de Halloumi, eu le-am mancat cu ketchup dar sunt super delicioase si cu salata :)

Ingrediente:

• 1 pachet de branza Halloumi (225g)
• ulei de masline
• oregano uscat
• boia dulce
• ketchup fara zahar pt servit (acesta e preferatul meu)

Scurgem bine branza Halloumi, o stergem cu un prosop de hartie si o taiem felii grosute, pe care apoi le taiem in 2, obtinand crochete. Pulverizam ulei de masline in tigaie si rumenim crochetele.

Atentie, la inceput branza va lasa zeama, o puteti scurge putin sau puteti lasa totul pe foc pana se evapora zeama. Cand tigaia e putin uscata si zeama s-a evaporat, mai puteti pulveriza inca putin ulei de masline.

Gatim crochetele pana se rumenesc frumos ca in imagini pe toate partile. La servire picuram putin ulei de masline peste ele si le presaram cu oregano uscat si boia dulce. Pofta mare! Crochete de Halloumi.

ENGLISH VERSION

So this appetizer is one of the best things I ate lately, it’s amazing and heaven for Cheese fans :D I cannot believe how simple and delicious these Halloumi cheese fries are, I ate them with ketchup, but they go really great with salad :)

Ingredients:

• 225 Halloumi cheese
• olive oil
• dry oregano
• sweet paprika
• sugar free ketchup

Drain and pat dry the Halloumi cheese with a paper towel, slice thickly then cut into strips. Spray olive oil in the pan and brown the cheese sticks.

First, the cheese juice will come out, you can throw that away or cook until it vanished :) Then you can spray a little more olive oil.

Cook the fries until lovely golden brown, then serve with a drizzle of olive oil, oregano and sweet paprika. Enjoy!
