Ingredients
- 250 g Halloumi cheese
- 1 tsp Caraway seeds
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 small Lemon
- 1 tsp Honey
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley
- 1 pinch Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
1. Slice the halloumi cheese into 1 cm thick pieces and pat them dry using a paper towel. This helps prevent sticking and ensures a crispier result.
Step 2
2. Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
Step 3
3. Place the halloumi slices in the hot skillet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
Step 4
4. In the same skillet, lower the heat slightly and add the caraway seeds. Toast them gently for about 30 seconds or until fragrant, stirring constantly to avoid burning.
Step 5
5. Squeeze the juice of one small lemon into a small bowl, then whisk it together with 1 teaspoon of honey to create a quick dressing.
Step 6
6. To serve, arrange the fried halloumi on a serving platter and drizzle the honey-lemon dressing over the top.
Step 7
7. Sprinkle the toasted caraway seeds, freshly chopped parsley, and a pinch of black pepper evenly over the halloumi.
Step 8
8. Serve immediately while warm and enjoy this flavorful Mediterranean-inspired dish!
