03 Know before you cook
Small details, better dinner.
Practical notes for getting the texture right, adapting the ingredients, and saving what is left.
- Extra firm tofu or paneer can replace halloumi.
- Use tahini lemon sauce instead of yogurt for a different creamy layer.
Refrigerate components separately for up to 3 days. Sear halloumi and assemble wraps just before eating.
