Ingredients

  • 200g Mainland Haloumi
  • Olive oil spray
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 2-3 Tbsp store-bought dukkah (or your own blend of nuts and spices such as chopped hazelnuts, roasted sesame seeds and freshly ground coriander and cumin)

 

Method

  1. Using a large knife cut the haloumi cross-wise into pieces, about 1cm thick. Then cut each piece in half lengthwise. You should end up with about 20-24 batons, each about 1cm cubed and five-six centimetres long.
  2. Lightly spray a large non-stick frying pan with oil to medium heat. Cook the haloumi chips in batches, for three-four minutes, turning frequently, until golden brown on all four edges. Remove from the pan and place on kitchen paper. Squeeze a little lemon juice over the still warm chips and sprinkle over some dukkah. Pick up the edges of the paper and shake gently until the chips a covered in a light coating of dukkah.
  3. Transfer the coated haloumi chips to a serving dish and serve with extra lemon wedges if liked.
