How to prep Nando’s Mushroom & Halloumi Pitta Recipe

Grill or pan-fry the mushrooms until tender and slightly charred.
Grill the Halloumi:
Cut the halloumi into thick slices.
Grill or pan-fry the halloumi until golden brown and slightly crispy.
Assemble the Pitta:

Additional Tips for the Perfect Nando’s Experience:
- Choose the Right Spice Level: Nando’s offers a range of Peri-Peri sauces, from mild to extra hot. Select the spice level that suits your taste buds.
- Don’t Overcook the Halloumi: Halloumi is best when it’s slightly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Overcooking can make it rubbery.
- Experiment with Toppings: Add some extra flavor and crunch to your pitta with toppings like roasted red peppers, avocado, or cucumber.
- Serve with Sides: Pair your pitta with a side of Nando’s famous chips (fries) or a refreshing salad.
