So, I was at this gourmet market over the holidays looking for some wine and cheese for dinner. I saw that they had Haloumi cheese which is touted as the cheese you can grill. I did it. Didn't like it. It was chalky and bitter. I hear that if I marinate it next time in some flavored olive oil it will be better, but haven't gotten back to it yet.
Well, I mention this to the cheese monger and she recommended I try Brun-Uusto cheese and she rushes off to go grill some up for me. I didn't want to stick around that long, but she was going through the trouble, so I did. So glad I did. It was fantastic. She said she fried it up in a pan with a little oil, but it can go on the grill. Well, it just so happened that I was smoking some pork tenderloin for a coworker who was having his folks in over New Years, so I bought a block. It was even better grilled as it picked up the smoky flavor as well. It was also a learning experience. I cut the block in half. The first half I did I cooked at too high a heat. I came within a biscuit of melting it through the grates and into the coals. The second time was perfect. I documented both sessions in this post. I'm not perfect. I screw up on the grill all the time...
So, here's the step by step on what I did and here are the pictures that hopefully make you hungry:
