Quick and tasty golden starter: pan-fried haloumi with baby rocket, red onions, and olives for entertaining.
Ingredients:
  • 2 x 180g pkts haloumi
  • 40.00 ml plain flour
  • 2 eggs, lightly whisked
  • 70g (1 cup) fresh breadcrumbs (made from day-old bread)
  • 80g baby rocket leaves
  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 65g (1/3 cup) kalamata olives
  • 20.00 ml red wine vinegar
  • 18.20 gm extra virgin olive oil
  • Large pinch of dried oregano
  • 125ml (1/2 cup) olive oil
  • Lemon wedges, to serve
Instructions:
  • Slice the haloumi in half crosswise, then cut each half horizontally. Season flour on a plate with salt and pepper. Arrange the egg and breadcrumbs in separate shallow bowls.
  • Coat haloumi in flour, shaking off excess. Dip in egg, then in breadcrumbs, pressing to coat evenly.
  • In a large bowl, mix the rocket, onion, and olives together. Season with salt and pepper. In a small bowl, whisk vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, and oregano. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss everything together.
  • In a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat, sizzle haloumi in olive oil until both sides are crisp and golden, about 2 minutes each.
  • Arrange the haloumi and salad on individual plates, then garnish with lemon wedges before serving.
