Use our Nocellara three ways ~ for frying cheese, roasting vegetables, and as a finishing oil. The bold flavor is needed with the saltiness of the halloumi and the sweetness of the roasted vegetables.

Directions

    For Vegetables

    1. Preheat oven to 375.

    2. On a sheet pan, toss together broccolini, tomatoes, 2 TBS Olio Taibi Nocellara Extra Virgin Olive Oil, salt and pepper.

    3. Roast for about 20-30 minutes, stirring about half way through, until tomatoes are softened and broccolini a little bit charred.

    For Halloumi

    1. In a cast iron or carbon steel pan, heat 2 TBS Olio Taibi Nocellara Extra Virgin Olive Oil over medium high heat until a sprinkle of water on the oil sizzles hard.

    2. Add halloumi in a single layer, and fry on a few sides to a deep golden brown. You don't need to brown all sides, but the more browning you do- the more flavor you get.

    To Serve

    1. Place each slice of toasted bread on a plate.

    2. Top each slice with a quarter of the the vegetables and the halloumi.

    3. Shower with lemon juice and Olio Taibi Nocellara Extra Virgin Olive Oil, then sprinkle with as much Aleppo-style pepper as you desire.

    Recipe Note

    Halloumi cheese is a fresh firm cheese with little moisture that stands up to high heat applications like pan frying and grilling. It's a traditional Cypriot cheese made from a blend of goat and sheep milks and sometimes also cow.


    Aleppo-style pepper is fruity, mildly spicy, with a slight earthy flavor. If you don't have any, substitute smoked paprika or urfa chile.
