GRILLED WHITE CHEESE WITH OREGANO OIL
These skewers are traditionally made with Brazilian queijo de coalho, a dense, salty white cheese very similar in taste and texture to the Haloumi we use here. Soaking the cheese on the skewers removes some of the salt and prevents the skewers from burning.

Steps:
- Thread 2 blocks of cheese lengthwise onto each skewer, then cover skewers with cold water and soak 1 hour.
- Stir together oil and oregano in a 13- by 9-inch shallow dish.
- While cheese soaks, prepare grill for cooking. If using a charcoal grill, open vents on bottom of grill, then light charcoal. Charcoal fire is medium-hot when you can hold your hand 5 inches above rack for 3 to 4 seconds. If using a gas grill, preheat burners on high, covered, 10 minutes, then reduce heat to moderately high.
- Drain cheese skewers on paper towels and pat dry, then grill, covered only if using a gas grill, on a well-oiled grill rack, turning (use a metal spatula to scrape under cheese to loosen before turning each time), until evenly browned, 3 to 7 minutes total.
- Add cheese skewers to oregano oil and turn to coat.
