Akrotiri: Fried Halloumi
"This recipe is from week three of my food blog, "Travel by Stove." I am attempting to cook one meal from every country on Earth, and Akrotiri is my third stop.
This very simple recipe requires a Halloumi cheese, which is made on the Island of Cyprus from a blend of goat and sheep's milk. It can usually be found in gourmet cheese shops."

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I am a mother of two with another one on the way! I am married to an Englishman and we own a small business in our local area. We live in a very small town called Rough and Ready (yes there really is a place called Rough and Ready!) I am a part-time writer and full time mom. My kids were born 15 months apart and keep me so busy I barely have enough time to cook and no time at all for my other passion, horseback riding. I once had four horses but am down to two; my Arab mare Argo and old Denver. Both of them spend the vast majority of their time standing around in my back yard eating hay. I get to feed them and look at them, but until my kids are all in school (and I stop having more kids) that's about it.
