Fried Halloumi

Serves:

Ingredients

• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 400g halloumi cheese, sliced ½ cm thick
• ½ punnet grape tomatoes, halved
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• cracked black pepper
• olive oil for drizzling

Method

Slice halloumi to 1/2cm thick slices and coat in olive oil.

Heat a non-stick pan and fry on one side for 1 minute. Turn the slices over and cook for 2 mins on the other side.

Place on plates and scatter grape tomatoes over the top. Sprinkle oregano and drizzle with olive oil.

Grind pepper over the top.

Notes:

• The cheese will become soft inside and this the time to plate it up. It just takes a few minutes to get to this stage so you need to keep a close eye on it.
• I use the best oil I can afford with this dish as it really makes a difference.
• You can also drizzle lemon juice or balsamic vinegar over it as well.
