Preparation

  • Put all the ingredients for the pesto in a food processor and chop until fine, then season with salt and pepper. Add 1 tbsp of olive oil and mix with a spoon.
  • Place the cheese in a large airtight dish and pour in the pesto. Add a thin stream of olive oil and pepper to taste. Toss gently to coat and set aside in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours or better yet, overnight.
  • Preheat barbecue to high and reduce to medium.
  • Place the baking sheet on the grill and place the haloumi on top. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side to get a good mark. Baste with the remaining pesto non-stop! Serve immediately.
