This is a light dinner for two that showcases tons of flavour and colour. You can find halloumi cheese in the cheese aisle at your grocery store. Be sure to have some baguette slices nearby to sop up all the yummy juices.

1 each red and yellow bell pepper, quartered
1 pkg (250 g) halloumi cheese
1/4 cup (60 mL) extra virgin olive oil, divided
2 tbsp (30 mL) aged balsamic vinegar
2 tbsp (30 mL) chopped sundried tomatoes
1 tbsp (15 mL) chopped fresh parsley or basil
1 tbsp (15 mL) lemon juice
1 tsp (5 mL) minced capers
1 small clove garlic, minced (optional)
Pinch each hot pepper flakes and salt

Preparation

  1. Slice halloumi in 4 lengthwise pieces and place on plate with peppers. Drizzle both with 1 tbsp (15 ml) of the oil.
  2. In a bowl, stir together remaining oil, vinegar, sundried tomatoes, parsley, lemon juice, capers, garlic, if using, hot pepper flakes and salt. Set aside.
  3. Grill halloumi and peppers over medium high heat on well-greased grill for about 8 minutes or until grill marks appear and cheese is softening. Return to plate decoratively.
  4. Spoon oil mixture over top of cheese and peppers and let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
