How to Make Besa鈥檚 Grilled Halloumi

Ingredients

3 red onions

3 cups sugar

1/2 Tbsp. salt

1/4 tsp. red chili flakes

1 tsp. fennel seeds

3 qt. red wine vinegar

2 sprigs fresh thyme (chopped)

Canola oil

3/4-in. slices halloumi

Fresh figs, sliced

1 tsp. olive oil

Directions

Small-dice red onions and place in a 2-qt. sauce pot along with sugar, salt, red chili flakes, fennel seeds, red wine vinegar, and thyme. Bring mixture to a simmer and reduce on medium-low heat until thickened (the liquid should coat the back of a spoon). Allow marmalade to cool at room temperature for 1 hour before serving.

Heat a cast iron pan on medium heat until hot and add a drizzle of canola oil. Sear halloumi slices on both sides for 1-2 minutes. Remove from pan and lightly season with salt. Place seared cheese on a plate and top each slice with marmalade. Place fig slices on top and drizzle with olive oil.
