Farmers Market Feast: Grilled Halloumi Cheese with Pluots and Honey
This week at the Little Italy Wednesday Market, I picked up red-speckled, pale green Dapple Dandy pluots. Salty halloumi cheese is one of the few cheeses that can stand up to the heat of a grill, and its salty, charred flavor was the perfect counterpoint to these sweet, pink-fleshed fruits.
