Ingredients

  • 14 ozhalloumi, two blocks, sliced 1 cm thick
  • 2 tbspextra virgin olive oil
  • 1lemon, cut into wedges
  • 2 tspdried oregano
  • 1/2 tspblack pepper, coarsely ground

Method

  1. 1

    Slice the halloumi and pat every surface completely dry with a cloth. Leave the slices spread out on the cloth while the pan heats.

  2. 2

    Heat a heavy or ridged pan over high heat until a drop of water skitters and vanishes, then brush the slices — not the pan — with the olive oil.

  3. 3

    Lay the slices in the pan and leave them undisturbed until a deep brown crust forms underneath, then turn once and do the same on the other side.

  4. 4

    Pile it straight onto a warm plate, scatter with oregano and pepper and squeeze lemon generously over the top.
