Time 5m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

1 (8-ounce) package halloumi cheese (drained; cut into 3/8-inch slices)
1 tablespoon olive oil
Garnish: freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
Garnish: oregano or mint leaves
Garnish: 4 to 5 cherry tomatoes (cut in half)
Garnish: balsamic vinaigrette

Steps:

Gather the ingredients. Heat a nonstick frying pan over high heat.
Dry the halloumi cheese slices by blotting them with a paper towel. Place the slices on a plate and brush both sides lightly with the olive oil to coat each thoroughly.
Sear the cheese in the hot pan until each slice develops a deep brown crust, about 1 minute on the first side and 1 to 2 minutes on the other.
Place the fried cheese on a plate and garnish with the pepper, oregano or mint leaves, tomatoes, and vinaigrette.

Time 8m

Yield 4 , 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

8 ounces haloumy cheese (or 250g called "haloom" in Arabic)
flour, for coating (To be gluten free I use a mix of white rice flour and half the amount of tapioca starch)
olive oil (best to use unrefined)
1 lemon, cut in wedges
crusty bread (or pita bread or to be gluten free, rice crackers)

Steps:

Cut cheese into 1/4 inch slices, dip in water and dredge in flour if desired (I do like it this way).
Heat enough oil in a small frying pan to cover base, fry cheese until slightly golden on each side.
Squeeze some lemon on top and serve with rest of the lemon wedges and a crusty bread or some pita to dip into the lemon flavoured oil.
