I love to eat by myself. It’s my time, I can think, read, catch up with news. But eating with friends is much better. For the last few weeks I had a nice collection of friends over and some of them are still here. They could not choose a better time – it’s sunny, hot and beautiful in Berlin. Most of them are discovering Berlin for whole days while I’m improving my German skills on an intensive course. But we have some time for each other in the morning. We make breakfast and talk about everything. That’s why I think that today breakfast makes you talk. It is so light, tasty and refreshing that you almost feel more energy after each bite. And when you put three girls behind one table you can not stop them from chatting 😉
You will need (for 3):
- haloumi cheese
- olive oil for frying
- 3 small oranges
- 2 plumps
- 1 pear
- few sage leaves
- few mint leaves
- 2 tsp red wine vinegar
- small handful nuts
- few red currants
Cut oranges, plums and pear in small pieces and arrange on a plate. Fry haloumi on the olive oil until nicely golden on both sides. In a small saucepan mix red wine vinegar, nuts and sage and heat it for few minutes. Place cheese on fruits, put some fried nuts on top and decorate with few mint leaves and red currants. Tastes nice with a bit of agave syrup.
Enjoy, Marta

Breath taking pictures as always.
I am in love with halloumi but I usually eat mine with sliced tomatoes, cucumbers, mint and some olives but now I know exactly what I am making tomorrow with the halloumi in the fridge!

Ha, whenever I have halloumi in the house it vanishes before I can do anything with it… I can’t stop cutting slices off every time I walk past the refrigerator. It’s a rare treat here because it’s not that easy to find in France, though this would definitely make a wonderful way of serving it (if I ever had enough to make such a dish with! :D)

I love fried haloumi — it gets that beautiful, golden-brown color with a little bit of crunch. Great idea to add it to a fruity salad!

Beautiful recipe Marta! I love the vibrant colours and that squeaky charred halloumi! Yum! Good luck with the rest of your German intensive. I’d love to learn German one day; my husband started learning a few years ago but hasn’t retained much since we’ve been back in Australia. One day!! Gorgeous post x
