Red Wine Braised French Green Lentils with Seared Maple Halloumi Cheese

What is halloumi? Halloumi cheese is an unripened, brined, firm cheese which can be made with goat, sheep, and/or with cow’s milk. This cheese is perfect for searing or grilling because it has a high melting temperature. The salty brined flavor, in combination with the sweet maple syrup are a perfect match with the meaty braised lentils in this dish! Can’t find halloumi? Feta cheese is a great substitute, you may need to cut the cubes slightly larger so that they remain intact when being seared.
