Ingredients:

Serving

8 oz 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)

Directions:

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.
