Grilled halloumi cheese is all the excuse you need to fire up the grill. It is golden and crispy on the outside ... soft and gooey on the inside.

GRILLED HALLOUMI WITH SPICY-SWEET PEPPERS
The firm texture of halloumi makes it a great candidate for grilling. Here, planks of the cheese are quickly marked on the grill, then topped with a mixture of chopped roasted peppers and Calabrian chilies for a sweet and hot kick. This appetizer comes together quickly and is perfect when served with crusty bread.

Steps:
- Preheat a grill to medium high. Combine the roasted peppers, Calabrian chiles, garlic, lemon juice and olive oil in a small bowl. Season with salt, stir and set aside.
- Oil the grill grates. Grill the halloumi until well marked and warmed through, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove to a platter. Spoon the red pepper mixture over the cheese and top with basil and mint. Serve with bread.
SPICED GRILLED HALLOUMI
The play between salty, hot cheese and sweet, juicy tomatoes is what makes this dish sizzle. Halloumi is a springy Cypriot cheese that bronzes when hit with intense heat, but you must pat it dry before grilling. Pile the singed cheese atop sliced tomatoes, which are seasoned here with salt and olive oil to concentrate their flavor. The salt will also extract water from the tomatoes, creating a light dressing. Finally, for texture, everything is sprinkled with a combination of crushed coriander and cumin seeds, red-pepper flakes and a touch of sugar. (You could also use a store-bought or homemade dukkah if you have it on hand.) Serve with grilled bread or pita, or embellish with herbs, cucumbers, grilled peppers, lentils, beans or grains.

Steps:
- Prepare a charcoal grill for two-zone cooking over medium-high heat by pouring the coals onto one half of the grill. For a gas grill, heat all of the burners to high, then turn off one of the end burners before cooking.
- While the grill is heating, arrange the tomatoes on a platter with an edge to prevent leaking and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Drizzle with olive oil. Set aside. Pat halloumi dry and drizzle with olive oil to coat on both sides. Set aside.
- In a small skillet over medium-low heat, toast the coriander seeds, cumin seeds and red-pepper flakes, shaking often, until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and smash with the side of your knife until cracked. (You can also do this with a mortar and pestle.) Transfer to a small bowl, add the sugar, and rub with your fingers to further crush the seeds.
- When you're ready to grill, take the halloumi, tomatoes, seeds, tongs and a tightly folded paper towel soaked with olive oil to the grill. Clean the grates with a grill brush, then oil the grates with the paper towel. Grill the cheese over the flame, flipping halfway through, until well browned and it releases easily from the gates, 4 to 6 minutes total. (For a gas grill, close the lid between flips, listening and keeping an eye out for flare-ups.) If the cheese sticks to the grates, give it another minute on the heat. Transfer the cheese to the tomatoes, then sprinkle with the seeds. Season to taste with more red-pepper flakes, sugar and olive oil.
