How to Make Our Arab Breakfast With Gluten Free Option

  1. In a small saucepan, combine water and crushed cardamom pods. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
  2. Reduce heat to low, add tea bags, and simmer for 1 1/2 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in sugar and cream to taste.
  3. Pour tea into teacups or mugs.
  4. Slice haloumi cheese into approximately 1/2-inch thick slices. Rinse slices with water and do not dry.
  5. Lightly coat each haloumi slice in gluten-free flour (or regular flour).
  6. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry haloumi slices until lightly golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side, adjusting heat as needed.
  7. Remove haloumi from skillet and arrange on a plate. Garnish with lemon halves for squeezing.
  8. Arrange butter, assorted cheeses, olives, hummus (drizzled with extra virgin olive oil), and fresh fruits on separate plates or bowls.
  9. Set up a low table or spread a blanket/newspaper on the floor for a traditional dining experience.
  10. Warm bread using your preferred method (oven, toaster, etc.) just before serving.
  11. Serve tea, haloumi, and other accompaniments. Use bread to scoop up cheeses, olives, and hummus. Enjoy alongside rice crackers for a gluten-free option.
