Mediterranean halloumi salad

red onion,

6-8 medium vine tomatoes, sliced

roasted red and yellow peppers

15-20 caperberries

black olives

olive oil

packs haloumi

basil leaves

Crusty bread, to serve

Place the onion in a small bowl and pour over enough freshly boiled water to cover. Leave for a minute, then drain and rinse in cold water. Lay the sliced tomatoes on a platter and scatter over the blanched onion, roasted peppers, caperberries and olives. Drizzle with 2 tbsp of the olive oil, season well and set aside.

Thickly slice the haloumi. Heat a frying pan over a high heat and cook the cheese in batches for a minute on each side until golden. Add the cooked haloumi to the platter, drizzle with the rest of the olive oil and sprinkle over some basil leaves. Serve with crusty bread.

Recipe video above. These can be baked, air-fried or shallow fried (best, most golden and crunchy and fastest). It&#039;s the best haloumi recipe I know - Haloumi Fries! Think - french fries, but a whole lot more interesting and faster to make. Super crunchy outside (thanks panko!) and warm, salty haloumi cheese insides. Excellent snack, starter for a Mediterranean menu or passing around at parties.PS The garlic dipping sauce is the perfect dunking sauce.

Haloumi fries

canola oil ((or other natural oil))

eggs (, whisked)

plain/all purpose flour

tbsp Italian herbs ((Note 2))

tbsp smoked paprika ((sub ordinary paprika))

tsp white pepper ((sub black pepper))

panko breadcrumbs (-

tsp cooking/kosher salt

plain Greek yoghurt

garlic

lemon juice ((sub white vinegar))

tsp extra virgin olive oil

Garlic dipping sauce - Mix ingredients in a bowl and set aside for at least 20 minutes to let the flavours develop.

Cut the haloumi into fries around 1.5cm / 0/6&quot; thick. The length will depend on the shape of your haloumi. I cut mine into 5 slices lengthwise, then each into half which makes uniform fries, and get 20 pieces.

Dry - Pat halloumi mostly dry using tea towels.

Prep - Using 3 bowls large enough to toss the halloumi, put the eggs in one bowl, mix Flour Dredge in another and mix Crumbing ingredients in a third.

Crumb - Dip a haloumi fry in flour, shake off excess. Dip in egg, allow excess to drip off. Coat in breadcrumbs, pressing to adhere, then place on tray. PRO: Do 2 at a time. 🙌🏻 Toss haloumi in breadcrumbs (by tossing the bowl) so you don&#39;t have to touch. 🙌🏻

Heat oil in a medium sauce pan over high heat until it reaches 180°C/350°F (Note 4).

Fry 5 haloumi sticks at a time for 1 1/2 minutes. Drain on a paper towel lined tray. Repeat with remaining haloumi.

Air fry and baking - see Note 5.

Serve hot with yoghurt garlic dipping sauce!
