My Panini grill does the slices very quickly as well.

Same here - love cheese but not this one no matter what is in the marinade.

Fried, in olive oil with some chilli flakes.
Served with a squeeze of lemon or lime.

I used to put it on kebabs, with any combination of chicken, chorizo, red/green pepper and red onion. I'd put a cube of it on the end of the skewer. However, the cube kept rupturing and would never stay on the end.

On the BBQ until it's nice and crispy on the outside.

Definitely on the BBQ - suits kebabs (as in peppers, courgettes and mushrooms) perfectly.

Also lovely with pitta bread, lettuce and tomatoes

Griddled. In a toasted wholemeal pitta with houmous and a Greek salad of tomato, cucumber, red onion, olives and olive oil. It's a staple meal in our house.

I like Halloumi, is it healthy? Tastes salty but surely naturally occuring (if thats what it is) saltiness cant be so bad?

Probably about as healthy as any other cheese really - most hard and semi-hard cheeses are relatively high in fat and salt. Thing is, most people don't eat huge amounts in one go so in a balanced diet a bit of cheese won't hurt.

Griddled, with Delia's caper sauce! Although I have to leave the oil out of mine as it would be too much fat for my diet - so I add all the same ingredients to a Tesco's chimichuri (sp?) sauce - tastes authentic with far less calories.

The excess salt can be rinsed out and the cheese flavoured with mint.

Try paneer!!!

I use Haloumi as a substitute for paneer in recipes.

Great point. Our local Indian Restaurant does lovely Muthi Paneer as a side order. Haloumi is just ghastly.

Tried it for the first time last week, think it was fried - meh, I was chewing, waiting for the flavour to hit me.

It never happened...

I find it has very little flavour in itself. Best way is to rub "dress" it in some olive oil with some herbs and spices in before griddling, I find.

I'll try the smoked paprika dusting - sounds up my street.

That wasn't my point though. The point was that I find paneer worse than haloumi. At least haloumi has some saltiness to it.
