Salad - Potatoes and Carrots in Goose Fat and Halloumi by Laura M. - Recipia

To prepare a delicious vegetable and halloumi cheese dish, we start by preparing the essential ingredients. First, we peel the potatoes and cut them into evenly sized cubes so that they cook evenly. The carrots should be sliced thinly, but not too thin, to retain a bit of their crunch. Once the vegetables are chopped, we take a pot and add cold water, along with a tablespoon of coarse salt, to enhance their flavor during boiling. We bring the water to a boil, then carefully add the potatoes and carrots. We let the vegetables boil for about 5-7 minutes until they are 90% cooked, so they are soft but not falling apart. After they are cooked, we drain the vegetables and let them cool slightly to continue the cooking process. In a cast iron or stainless steel skillet, we melt a piece of goose butter, which will add a rich and aromatic flavor to our dish. Once the butter has completely melted, we add the drained vegetables and sauté them over medium heat, stirring occasionally to ensure they brown evenly. After a few minutes, when the vegetables begin to take on a golden color, we add finely chopped garlic, a few fresh thyme leaves, and some crushed allspice berries. These spices will provide an extra layer of flavor, and the garlic will turn the dish into a true delicacy. We let the mixture cook for a minute, then season it with salt and pepper to taste. In another skillet, we add a teaspoon of olive oil and start frying the halloumi cheese cut into thick slices. Halloumi is a cheese that has a firm texture and only partially melts, providing a perfect contrast to the fried vegetables. We fry the cheese until it becomes golden and crispy on both sides, which will add a delicious touch to our dish. To serve, we portion the vegetables onto plates, arranging them nicely, and add the fried halloumi slices on top. To give a touch of freshness, we can add some halved cherry tomatoes, which will bring a color contrast and a sweet-sour taste. This dish not only looks wonderful but also combines a variety of textures and flavors that will surely delight the taste buds of those who savor it.
