Cypriot cheese with a dense, slightly rubbery pulp is simply made for grilling. Finding halloumi in Moscow is not a problem - we have long learned to make it well here. But finding fresh sage on sale is quite a quest: mostly they sell a different kind, dried, which smells like a pharmacy. Fresh fluffy leaves are devoid of a medicinal smell and have a light spicy aroma. We used it, putting together a bouquet of tomatoes, fried cheese with sage leaves imprinted on it, and seasoned it with green oil from aromatic herbs collected in the "Food" garden.
