How to enjoy Halloumi Ravioli

This savory, delicately minty dish is refreshing, light and flavorful and perfect for any season and occasion. Its simplicity and wholesome ingredients are what makes them a firm favorite traditional comfort food but they are also a frequent feature entrée in a Cyprus meze. They provide a delicious alternative to meat for vegetarians but meat lovers appreciate them just as much. They also pair well with salads for a perfect light meal on their own, or served as a side next to any roast meat lunch or dinner.

In Cyprus we normally enjoy them plain, with just some grated halloumi or dried anari cheese on top, but you can add to the broth any seasoning you like, finish them off in some tomato sauce or serve with some pesto on top.
