If you can find halloumi [Cypriot cheese], this is fantastic fried and added to hot or cold dishes; really chewy, textured and flavoursome.
In the past, I've made my favourite sandwiches using Romaine lettuce leaves instead of a wrap/bread: not ideal maybe, but perfectly nice.
I think someone mentioned quinoa? If that's OK, it's worth persevering with [my husband hated it, but has come around; I loved it, which is probably why our household gave it multiple second chances? ].
OT, but just a very weird fun factoid regarding quinoa....
So, as I'm sure most of y'all know I have Celiac disease and a ton of food allergies. Quinoa is often used as a GF substitute. I thought I was revolting. Tried it again and it was even worse. Third time broke out all over.
I happen to have a terrible allergy to beets and Swiss chard. As it turns out, quinoa is in the same family as beets. Who knew?
I had no idea! Thanks for posting that, Dazi; we have various friends/family members with intolerances/allergies, and I hadn't a clue about that.
It's a WEIRD one for sure! I had no idea. It was maybe a year or two later when I found out.
