03 Know before you cook
Small details, better dinner.
Practical notes for getting the texture right, adapting the ingredients, and saving what is left.
- Use maple syrup instead of honey for a different sweet heat glaze.
- Paneer or extra firm tofu can replace halloumi, though both benefit from added salt.
Refrigerate components separately for up to 3 days. Re sear halloumi briefly before assembling.
