A starter for 6 or light meal for 4 with French/pitta bread We had this as a delicious starter at a friends house, and I begged her for the recipe, I cant wait to try it!! I'm guessing at the amount of halloumi, but basically you want to have about four 'fingers' per person, as a starter. The dressing was marvellous! I love halloumi but have never tried making it, well, thats now going to change :D Ingredients:
200 g halloumi cheese |
seasoned flour |
2 -3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil |
2 -3 limes, juice and zest of (or lime juice from a plastic lime!) |
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar |
2 tablespoons capers, drained |
2 garlic cloves (i use the stuff in a jar and guess) |
2 teaspoons coarse grain mustard |
1 bunch fresh coriander leaves, chopped coarsely (can use less if desired) |
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil |
salt |
fresh ground black pepper |
Directions:
1. Pat cheese dry with kitchen paper.
2. Slice into fingers.
3. Prepare dressing by mixing all ingredients together in bowl. Check taste.
4. You can make it ahead of time and put in fridge overnight, but take out to warm up a little before serving.
5. Coat cheese slices in seasoned flour.
6. Heat oil in frying pan.
7. Fry cheese slices in hot oil, about 1 minute each side, till golden.
8. Serve immediately with dressing poured over.
