Grilled Halloumi

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.
