If anyone was still wondering, it's now official: pesto and halloumi are my latest obsessions! :D So when I found this beautiful breakfast/brunch/lunch recipe on Teo's Kitchen's website I knew I had to try it :) I previously had some bad experience with pea puree but I am very happy I gave this recipe a chance. I'll just say this: garlic and mascarpone will ALWAYS make a recipe better! Long live Teo and her great recipes! Now go try it yourself! :D
Ingredients for 4 toasts (and leftovers):
- 200g frozen peas
- 40g olive or sunflower oil
- a clove of garlic
- 10ml honey
- 40g mascarpone
- salt and pepper to taste
- 200g halloumi cheese
Steps:
1. Boil the peas in salted water until they are soft.
2. Drain the water, then add the peas in a blender together with the garlic clove, oil, mascarpone, honey, salt and pepper and blend everything until you form a nice looking green paste. You can add more salt and/or pepper if you feel like it.
3. Cut the halloumi in 2 on its length and put it in a grilling pan for a couple of minutes until it's nice and golden-brown on both sides. Then cut it into stripes after you take it out of the pan.
4. Make some toast and then assemble your meal: toast, pea puree and halloumi on top. Bon appetit! It's deliiicious!
