Tyros eis Halmen
(Pickled Cheese)
Origin: Roman Period: Traditional
Modern Redaction
Ingredients
200g Feta cheese
A handful of fresh thyme
200ml white wine vinegar
1 tbsp clear honey
Method:
Wash and dry the Feta cheese to remove excess salt then cut into 1cm cubes. Using a clean pickling jar place a layer of the cubed cheese in the bottom. Cover this with a layer of thyme and then a layer of cheese. Keep on adding alternating layers until the entire jar is filled.
Thoroughly mix the honey and vinegar and pour the mixture into the pickling jar until the final layer of cheese is covered. Seal the jar and leave to infuse for a day.
My girlfriend made us weird curly telephone wire pasta with chorizo, mushrooms, parsely and halloumi grilled on top the other night. My God, it's a taste sensation.
I need to get back into cooking, but my current kitchen is so small as to thoroughly inhibit any culinary fancy-work.
