Wild RiceWith Halloumi and Chilli

Halloumi Cheese With Rice

This recipe was actually inspired when I was travelling and looking for something for lunch. I came across a salad made from halloumi cheese and wild rice that was spiced with chilli. I decided to try to make a supper recipe with similar ingredients. This dish is meant to be eaten hot but it would also be good to have leftovers for a packed lunch the next day. Or it could be served as a salad as part of a buffet.

Halloumi Cheese is very versatile and is delicious flavoured with chilli and ginger in this easy supper recipe

Halloumi cheese is available in supermarkets and is wonderful for vegetarian dishes. It keeps its shape when cooked and adds substance and a salty flavour to many dishes. You may already have tried Stuffed Peppers with Halloumi Cheese or Halloumi Cheese With Chickpeas

Unopened, halloumi cheese keeps for many months as it is packed in brine so it is a great store cupboard ingredient.

You can even buy a kit to make Halloumi at home!

Wild Rice

Wild rice makes a lovely change from plain rice. The wild rice you buy in the supermarkets is actually a mix of rice and wild rice. Wild rice is a seed of a grass grown in North America. rather than a grain so is quite different from other rice but it cooks well with it.

You could use the rice you have in your cupboard for this recipe too.
