Stretched-curd cheese doesn't melt as quickly as regular cheese, so it's ideal for the barbecue. The favourite is cheese strings wrapped in bacon.
Bacon-wrapped cheese strings
- 1 pack of smoked or salted cheese strings (100 g)
- 8 rashers of streaky bacon
- wooden cocktail sticks
- Divide the strings into 8 equal bundles and roll each into a small coil.
- Wrap each coil tightly in a rasher of bacon and secure with a cocktail stick.
- Cook on a hot barbecue or in a pan for 2 to 3 minutes each side, until the bacon is golden.
- Serve straight away, while the cheese inside is soft.
More ideas
- Skewers with tomatoes and courgette - thread pieces of string between the vegetables and put them on the barbecue at the very end.
- In a salad - add pulled garlic strings to a grilled vegetable salad.
- With beer - serve gyros strings cold as a contrast to warm meat.
Tip: put the strings on the barbecue straight from the fridge, so they keep their shape longer.
