Equipment: Frying pan

Ingredients

  • 1 block halloumi, about 225 g, cut into 8 slices

Optional extras

  • A squeeze of lemon
  • A pinch of chilli flakes (red pepper flakes)
  • A few mint leaves
  • Black pepper

Method

  1. Heat a dry non-stick frying pan over a medium-high heat. Halloumi doesn't need oil.
  2. Fry the slices for 1 to 2 minutes each side, until golden.
  3. Serve straight away, with any extras.

Swaps and tips

Halloumi is salty, so there's no need to add salt. Eat it hot; it goes rubbery as it cools. Serve with salad or tomatoes to make a meal.
