Ingredients
Method
First of all, pat the cheese dry with paper towels. Then, using a sharp knife, slice it into eight slices, including the ends. Now dredge in seasoned flour. Prepare the dressing by simply beating all the ingredients together in a small mixing bowl.
When you're ready to serve the halloumi, heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. When the oil is really hot add cheese to the hot skillet—they take 1 minute on each side to cook, so by the time the last one's in, it will almost be time to turn the first one over. They need to be a good golden color on each side.
Serve them on warmed plates with the dressing poured over and garnished with the cilantro sprigs. This is good served with lightly toasted pita bread or Greek bread with toasted sesame seeds.
Makes 4 servings.
