Salty sheep's cheese keeps its shape when cooked. Flavour with paprika and cayenne then serve with a bean salsa and avocado dip

Cajun grilled halloumi with lime black-eyed bean salad & guacamole

tsp rapeseed oil

oregano

½ tsp dried thyme

tsp smoked or regular paprika

cayenne pepper

garlic clove, finely chopped

black-eyed beanfrom a can, drained (or butter

tomatoes, deseeded and diced

sweetcornfrom a can, drained

spring onions, trimmed and finely chopped

semi-dried tomatoin oil

lime

coriander,

avocado,

¼ red chilli, deseeded and finely chopped

olive oil

Mix together the oil, herbs, spices and garlic in a large sealable bag. Divide a 250g block of halloumi into 8 slices. It can be very salty, so soak the slices in cold water for at least 10 mins, if you have time. Pat dry, then rub a spoonful of the Cajun mix into each slice, and reserve  4 slices for Open rye sandwich (see &#39;goes well with&#39;).

In a large bowl, mix all the ingredients for the bean salad. Stir well and set aside.

For the guacamole, scoop the flesh from the avocado and put it in a medium bowl, chopping it roughly with the side of the spoon. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix well. If you prefer your guacamole to be smoother, mash the avocado well with the olive oil and lime juice until it&rsquo;s at your preferred consistency before stirring in the other ingredients.

Heat the grill. Line a grill pan with foil, place the halloumi slices on it and grill for 3-4 mins, checking occasionally until golden.

Set aside 2 tbsp guacamole for tomorrow&rsquo;s lunch and chill. Place 2 slices of halloumi on each plate, with some bean salad and a dollop of guacamole on the side.
