What is halloumi?
Halloumi is a Greek Turkish cheese made from goats and sheep’s milk.
It’s semi-hard and it’s great for frying and grilling because it has a high melting point.
How do I store it?

Does it freeze?
Yes, halloumi stroganoff freezes well, so why not double up and make a batch for your freezer so it’s a delicious meal ready and waiting for you when you’re short on time.
How do I make it vegan?
It’s not difficult to make our halloumi stroganoff vegan.
There are two main ingredients that you’ll need to replace: the halloumi and the creme fraiche.
A good replacement for the halloumi is tofu fry or bake the tofu before adding it to your stroganoff.
You can easily buy a vegan alternative to creme fraiche made from plant-based milk, just take a look and see what your local store stocks.
What can I serve it with?
You can’t go wrong with rice, it’s the ‘go to’ accompaniment for us.
Serve it on a bed of mashed potatoes, sweet mashed potato, French fries, egg noodles, zucchini noodles, or your favorite pasta.
We also think that a lovely fresh salad is perfect for halloumi stroganoff and eat it with a slice of crusty bread.
