    🥘 Ingredients

    All you need to make this recipe is halloumi and your choice of vegetables. I use zucchini, broccolini, peppers, cherry tomatoes and olives for a Greek style stir fry.

    You can also make a halloumi stir fry with any other veggies of your choice. Try adding thinly sliced carrots, eggplant, sugar snap peas, edamame, mushrooms, tofu and bok choi.

    🔪 Instructions

    Dice and slice all the ingredients in bite sized pieces. Heat some cooking spray or vegetable oil in a frying pan or wok, then add the halloumi and veggies.

    Stir the ingredients as they fry until they have warmed through and reached the consistency you prefer, 4-7 minutes.

    🧀 Halloumi

    Halloumi is a Cypriot or Greek cheese with a high melting point, meaning it can be fried and cooked without melting like most cheeses. It is known as the "squeeky cheese" because of its unique texture.

    The cheese is very unique, and can not really be substituted. It is typically stored in brine, and has a salty flavor, which makes it perfect to use as a vegetarian protein in main courses.

    💭 Top tips

    Here's my best tips on how to make the BEST stir fry with halloumi:

    • Don't try to substitute halloumi with any other cheese. It won't really work in this recipe.
    • If you're using very hard vegetables such as cauliflower or carrots, you might want to stir fry these for a while before adding the other ingredients.
    • If you use soft vegetables such as tomatoes, you might want to add these towards the end of the frying time as they cook extra fast.
    • You can use a stir fry sauce if you want, but I think this recipe tastes really fresh and flavorful without it. Try adding some balsamic vinegar or sweet chili sauce if you want.
    • Stir fries are meant to be cooked on a high heat while you stir the ingredients. If you cook it on low heat, the vegetables will be more steamed than seared.

    🥗 How to serve halloumi stir fry

    Serve this Mediterranean halloumi stir fry as a one pan meal, or with side dishes such as focaccia, stuffed vine leaves, or lemon and garlic rice.

    You can also add any stir fry sauce, or serve it with a dressing or dipping sauce such as hummus.

    🍲 Leftovers

    Leftover halloumi and veggie stir fry can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge foru up to 4 days. Keep in mind that the vegetables will typically be more soft and crunchy after being stored for some time.

    Reheat the stir fry in a frying pan or microwave, and serve the leftovers warm.
