My grandma cooks this dish for us frequently. Although she freezes it, my family loves it to be served cold from the refrigerator.

Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons capers
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ large lemon, juiced
- 1 teaspoon coriander seeds, crushed
- freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1 (8.8 ounce) package halloumi cheese, sliced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ cup chopped cilantro leaves
- salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cover capers with fresh water in a bowl and soak for 5 minutes to remove excess salt; drain.
- Chop capers coarsely. Stir together capers, garlic, 2 tablespoons olive oil, lemon juice, and crushed coriander seeds in a small bowl. Season with ground black pepper.
- Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.
- Brush the halloumi slices with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil.
- Cook halloumi slices directly on the grill grate until golden, about 2 minutes. Turn and cook on the other side until soft in the center and golden on the outside, about 2 more minutes.
- Place halloumi slices on a serving plate. Drizzle with caper sauce and sprinkle with fresh cilantro leaves. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- If it isn’t barbecue season, you can cook the halloumi under the grill.
