CRISPY HALLOUMI CHEESE WITH CAPER SAUCE
Salty halloumi cheese makes a delicious summer starter when grilled until golden and presented with a homemade caper sauce. Halloumi is ideal for the grill because it holds its shape and does not melt, but just becomes crisp on the outside and pleasantly soft inside.

Steps:
- Cover capers with fresh water in a bowl and soak for 5 minutes to remove excess salt; drain.
- Chop capers coarsely. Stir together capers, garlic, 2 tablespoons olive oil, lemon juice, and crushed coriander seeds in a small bowl. Season with ground black pepper.
- Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.
- Brush the halloumi slices with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil.
- Cook halloumi slices directly on the grill grate until golden, about 2 minutes. Turn and cook on the other side until soft in the center and golden on the outside, about 2 more minutes.
- Place halloumi slices on a serving plate. Drizzle with caper sauce and sprinkle with fresh cilantro leaves. Season to taste with salt and 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.

KATHYS FRIED HALLOUMI CHEESE WITH LIME AND CAPER VINAIGRETTE
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

I love fried halloumi cheese. We can buy white balsamic condiment, but I don't know what to suggest as a substitute if you can't get it.
