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!
HALLOUMI CHEESE MEATBALLS
1 lb ground turkey breast
1 egg white
2 T oat bran
1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
1 small serrano pepper, finely chopped
1/2 cup fat free cottage cheese
2 oz Halloumi cheese, small-cubed
Mix all ingredients together in a bowl using hands, careful not to handle too much. Form 15 large meatballs and cook at 400 for 20 minutes.

Hot Dogs For Dinner
So, not exactly a Dukan Diet recipe but I wanted you all to know that I’m just like the rest of the world and don’t like cooking EVERY night. Although I like cooking a lot! Tonight I stopped by Smart&Final, a discount market we have all over Los Angeles. They have these fabulous lowfat hotdogs (albeit loaded with stuff I’m sure my body doesn’t think is all that fabulous) from HOFFY that are endorsed by The Hungry Girl, who also happens to be located here in LA. She posts lots of cool lowfat recipes and tips for dieting and keeping trim. Not exactly what I consider “healthy” stuff but lower in fat and calories.
At any rate, these hot dogs are really good and I really wanted one last night so I went for it. With only 4 grams of fat and 90 calories per hot dog, ok, I had two, I didn’t feel so guilty. They’re also gluten-free and no MSG–although I’m not saying in any means are they a perfect food. They have a pretty high sodium count and they have nitrites (not a good ingredient in any of our food). Once I boiled them, yes, I like boiled hot dogs, I cut it down the middle and filled it with onions and mustard and ate it like a hot dog! It was awesome. Hope you can find them in your neighborhood. They’re gonna be great this summer on the grill–in moderation, of course.
HAPPY WEEKEND EVERYONE!

Grilled Maple/Soy Salmon
I’m at my place in the desert this weekend and what better to do than barbecue! This was simple and delicious…I hope you all have as great a weekend as I’m having!! Now get in that kitchen and whip up a Dukan Diet recipe or two!!
GRILLED MAPLE/SOY SALMON
1/3 cup soy sauce
1/3 cup maple syrup (sugar free for those of you early phaser Dukaners)
4 salmon fillets, with skin
Lemon wedges, for serving
Combine the soy and maple. Reserve a little less than half, to reduce down for a glaze to serve with. Pour the rest of the sauce in a glass dish and place the salmon, skin side up, over the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for about 20-30 minutes or until you have the rest of the meal ready to grill. Salt and pepper the salmon and sear the it over a very hot grill, for one minute, skin side up. Then flip and sear the skin side for about 3 minutes. Move the salmon off the direct heat and cook until desired doneness, 1-2 minutes for medium, 3-5 for well done. While you grill the salmon, add 2 more tablespoons of maple syrup to the reserved marinade and pour it all into a small saucepan. Reduce the sauce over medium heat until thickened, about 3-5 minutes. Serve salmon with a bit of glaze drizzled over it.
