Nutritional values

Thanks to the mineral potassium it contains, zucchini can help lower elevated blood pressure and stabilize an irregular heartbeat. This can reduce cardiac arrhythmias.

If you like, you can replace the halloumi with any other type of cheese. It becomes even spicier with feta, for example, but Gouda or Gruyère cheese also go wonderfully with the dish.
