Leek as well as Rye Berry Salad amongst Halloumi Cheese, Sun-Dried Tomatoes as well as Olives

My best friend Basil ordinarily comes over for a weekend eve view as well as when he does, I similar to mean value of a creative repast to brand for him. Basil is a adept cook, only every bit he is busy, he ordinarily makes a handful of tried as well as tested recipes during the calendar week then it is a process for him to view my kitchen for dinner. Food blogging does receive got i payoff as well as that is rarely exercise nosotros swallow the same dishes because I demand to come upwards up amongst novel material. The disadvantage is that dinner has to await until the photos are taken … ah well, that is a modest cost to pay for a satisfying as well as interesting meal.

This salad was inspired yesteryear Ancient Grains for Modern Meals yesteryear Maria Speck. I am absolutely smitten amongst this cookbook as well as lots of the recipes receive got been bookmarked to effort because I bask dressing upwards my grain dishes. I could non resist some other cooking session amongst Halloumi cheese, as well as this is i of the few recipes I receive got tried then far. H5N1 traditional salty Cypriot cheese made from sheep's, goat's as well as often cow's milk known for its might to tally its cast as well as trouble solid texture when cooked as well as for the "squeaky" audio it makes when y'all chew it, Halloumi is a perfect pick to fill upwards out a salad. It may locomote hard to find, only tin often locomote purchased at specialty cheese or Greek shops. If y'all can't honour it, other Greek saganaki cheeses tin locomote substituted. Similarly, rye berries tin locomote substituted amongst other whole grain berries if necessary, only the rye berries receive got a depth of season that is wonderful inwards this salad.

A rather unconventional pairing perhaps, only I served it amongst oseng oseng tempe as well as a peanut butter loaf for dessert. Overall, a delicious meal.
