Categories Breakfast

Time 17m

Yield 2-3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

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

Steps:

Pat cheese dry with kitchen paper.
Using a sharp knife, slice it into 8 slices.
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.
When you're ready to serve the halloumi, heat the oil in a frying pan over a medium heat.
When the oil is really hot, press each slice of cheese into seasoned flour to coat it on both sides.
Add them to the hot pan and cook 1 min on each side. The color should be a nice golden brown.
Serve them straight away with the dressing poured over and garnished with coriander.
