Introducing Halloumi Cheese & Unique Romanesco

Posted by admin in Untagged 


Ready for a couple new Kimkins friendly food finds? Introducing Greek made Halloumi cheese and the Escher-like broccoli cousin, Romanesco!


Halloumi is processed usually with goat milk, but it's also done with sheep or cow's milk. Primarily produced in Greece, the Greek government is allowing small amounts to be created in Canada. What makes Halloumi special (besides the vague mint flavor?) It's grillable without melting! Make a "reverse" sandwich and cook in a pannini or George Foreman grill.

Have you seen any Romanesco in your grocer's produce department? Look around the vicinity of its cousins, broccoli and cauliflower. The mathematical perfection of the conical shape aside, it's quite the show stopper (not to mention full of cruciferous cancer fighting antioxidants).
