Tofu Halloumi

with Roasted Eggplant and Herb Tarator Sauce

Halloumi is a hard cheese that is often served fried or grilled, and in this recipe we achieve the same effect with tofu instead! Dress it in tarator, a garlicky herb sauce, made with almonds and olive oil for a velvety texture. Let’s not forget the flavor that brings the dish together: za’atar. This Israeli spice blend contains wild thyme, oregano, and sesame for a taste of the Middle East!
