Sizzling halloumi and peppers — Mexican-inspired.
Equipment: Large frying pan
Measures and names
Ingredients
- 1 x 225g block halloumi, sliced
- 2 peppers
- 1 onion, sliced
- 1 tbsp fajita spice
- 1 tbsp oil
- Juice of 1 lime
- Avocado, soured cream (sour cream) and grated cheese
- Shredded lettuce, to serve
- Coriander (cilantro)
Method
- Fry the halloumi slices in a dry hot pan for 1–2 minutes each side, until golden. Set aside.
- Toss the peppers and onion with the fajita spice, then fry in the oil over a high heat for 6 minutes, until softened and charred at the edges.
- Return the halloumi and squeeze over the lime.
- Pile shredded lettuce into bowls and top with the sizzling halloumi and peppers.
- Finish with avocado, soured cream, grated cheese and coriander — no added salt; halloumi is salty.
Swaps and tips
Use lettuce leaves as wraps instead of tortillas. Add guacamole if you like.
