I love Halloumi and this recipe is no exception, absolutely loved the addition of the caraway seeds, it gives the cheese a deep, sharp flavor, taking you somewhere exotic. I couldn't stop eating the halloumi, but did save enough to put in a grilled sandwich. It was outstanding, next time I will add a little tomato and sweet onion to the sandwich. Thanks so much for sharing. I can't wait to try this in a salad.

I made, ate, and enjoyed this for PAC 2007. I've never had Halloumi cheese before and found I love that chewy texture. It was a little salty for my taste, but think that is something that could grow on you. I also had trouble with the cheese melting on me but think that was my timing. Tried to take pictures but they just did not look as good as the ones you already have so have not posted. This will be perfect for our next get together with Greek olives, maybe some hummus and a good bottle of red wine. Thanks Syrinx, for a great recipe, I'll be making this again.
