Grilled Halloumi with Watermelon and Mint Oil

The latest issue of Bon Appetit is the grilling issue and it is fantastic. I had already bought some mint and a watermelon, and I actually found Halloumi cheese at my grocery store, so I decided to make this to go with our dinner of grilled filet mignon and grilled watermelon salad. The original recipe is available online. Here's my slightly altered version:

1 tablespoon coarsely chopped fresh basil

3 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh mint

1 garlic clove, coarsely chopped

1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil

salt and pepper

1 8-9 ounce package Halloumi cheese, cut into 8 slices

8 triangles thinly sliced watermelon, rind removed

Heat a gas grill to medium-high. Pulse the basil, mint, and garlic in a food processor. Add the oil to the food processor and process until well blended. Set a strainer over a small bowl; strain, pressing on solids. Season with salt and pepper.

Toss the cheese in 2 tablespoons of the oil. Grill the cheese until charred in spots and beginning to melt, about a minute on each side.

Arrange the melon on a platter. Top each wedge with a slice of cheese. Drizzle with the remaining oil. 4 servings.

If I make this for guests I'll be using some fresh mint for garnish.
