A Delia Smith recipe my hubby discovered. It's a cheese I love and this recipe, although unbelievably rich is one of my favorite! Ingredients:
250 g halloumi cheese |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
2 tablespoons well-seasoned flour |
1 lime, juice and zest of |
1 tablespoon capers, drained |
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar |
1 garlic clove, finely chopped |
1 teaspoon whole grain mustard |
1 tablespoon chopped fresh coriander leaves |
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil |
salt & freshly ground black pepper |
Directions:
1. Pat cheese dry with kitchen paper.
2. Using a sharp knife, slice it into 8 slices.
3. Now prepare the dressing: Mash the capers slightly and mix in all other ingredients together in a small mixing bowl. Go easy on the salt since halloumi is quite salty.
4. When you're ready to serve the halloumi, heat the oil in a frying pan over a medium heat.
5. When the oil is really hot, press each slice of cheese into seasoned flour to coat it on both sides.
6. Add them to the hot pan and cook 1 min on each side. The color should be a nice golden brown.
7. Serve them straight away with the dressing poured over and garnished with coriander.
