Ingredients

  • 400 g halloumi
  • 1 tsp za'atar
  • 1 Tbsp cornflour (corn starch in US)
  • 2 Tbsp EV olive oil
  • 4 Tbsp runny honey

Topping - as much or as little as you like

  • ½ tsp chilli flakes hot or mild, up to you
  • ¼ tsp za'atar
  • 1 Tbsp honey

Instructions

  • Slice the halloumi up into 1 cm (just under ½ in) thick slices. Pat dry.
  • Mix the za'atar and cornflour up.
  • Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat.
    Dredge the halloumi slices in the spiced cornflour, shake off excess and fry in a single layer for 60 - 90 seconds each side.
    You'll want to do this in 2 batches, so as not too overcrowd the pan.
  • Take the first batch out onto a plate, keep warm near the stovetop, and repeat, to fry up all the halloumi.
  • Turn the heat off and drizzle 1 Tbsp honey all over. Shake the pan, then turn the halloumi slices over to coat the other side.
    Dish this out onto your serving plate and repeat this step with the first batch of fried halloumi.
  • Once all the fried slices are done and on the serving plate, sprinkle a little chilli flakes, a bit more za'atar and a little more honey as desired.
    Serve immediately.
