Halloumi Cheese Meatballs

Halloumi Cheese Meatballs

My friends Baghwant and Sahar were visiting me this weekend and it was a great weekend of feasting and learning about new foods and cooking techniques for me.  Thanks Baghwant!  One of the first things I learned about was this delicious cheese called Halloumi.  From Cyprus, it’s a semi-hard, unripened brined cheese made from a mixture of goat’s and sheep’s milk, sometimes adding cow’s milk as well.  It’s even better if you can find the “light” version!  I know a lot of you don’t eat cheese on the Dukan Diet but I have to tell you I was completely successful eating it the first time, trying to find as low fat cheeses as possible, and I made my goat weight on time.  When I add cheese to my recipes, aside from them being low fat, I make sure that the other ingredients and the protein are as low fat as they can be.

With that said, cheese is one of my choices to make this lifestyle work for me.  You may find other things that you can’t live without.  At any rate, for those who are eating cheese, these are fabulous!!  You can fry and grill this cheese too.  It’s wonderful with eggs as I had them on an omelette this weekend!
