Mediterranean Grilled Halluomi Veggie Sandwich
A tasty Mediterranean style cheese sandwich made with grilled Halloumi summer veggies and harissa ketchup.
Equipment
- skillet or grill pan
Ingredients
- 8-10 oz halloumi cheese sliced into thick pieces
- 1 large red onion sliced
- 1-2 medium zuchinni sliced
- 1 large heirloom tomato sliced
- ¼ cup Kalamata olives, pitted and sliced
- small handful of sprouts, microgreens or baby spinach
- 1-2 tbsps e.v olive oil
- salt and black pepper to taste
- ½ tsp dried oregano or herb de provence
- pinch of chili flakes
- 2-3 tbsps ketchup look for good quality with least additives
- 1-2 tbsps harissa paste or sriracha to taste
- 4 slices hearty artisanal style wholewheat bread
Instructions
- In a small bowl mix the ketchup and harissa or sriracha and set aside.
- Lightly brush olive oil and season the veggies and halloumi with salt pepper and herbs. Brush the grill pan with some oil and heat to medium high heat. Place with veggies and grill until some char appears 2-3 minutes, flip and cook for another minute. Remove and set aside.
- Grill the cheese slices just like the veggies and set aside. Toast the bread if desired.
- Spread generous amounts of ketchup on both slices of the bread** (see notes for substitutions). Lay each veggie on the bread one at a time. Top it with halluomi cheese, sliced olives and sprouts/ microgreens. Season if needed. Place the other slice on top, cut in half and serve.
- Note if ketchup is not your thing you can try other spreads of your choice. Suggestions in Notes.
Notes
If ketchup is not your thing you can try these spreads of your choice. Here are some of my favorites. Any of these spreads will compliment the sandwich really well.
