Ingredients

Grilled haloumi with oregano dressing
  • 2 tablespoon vegetable or olive oil
  • 2 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
  • 250 gram haloumi, cut into 1cm slices lengthwise
  • 2 teaspoon salted capers, rinsed, chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried chilli flakes
  • mixed leaf salad, to serve
  • crusty bread, to serve
  • olives, to serve

Method

Grilled haloumi with oregano dressing
  • 1
    Combine half the oil, half the juice and 1 teaspoon of the oregano in a small jug. Place haloumi in a shallow glass or ceramic dish. Pour lemon mixture over haloumi. Set aside 10 minutes, to marinate.
  • 2
    Heat a large frying pan over high heat. Cook haloumi, in batches, 1-2 minutes each side, or until golden brown. Transfer to a serving plate.
  • 3
    Add remaining oil to pan. Stir in remaining juice and oregano, capers and chilli. Let bubble 10 seconds; remove from heat. Drizzle warm dressing over haloumi and salad. Serve with bread and olives.

Notes

Haloumi only needs a quick sear - be careful not to overcook it.
