Halloumi Fries

Salty, gooey, hot, melted cheese in a crispy spiced casing - Need I say more?!

INGREDIENTS

• 1 pack halloumi (225g)

• 4 tbsp polenta

• A little olive oil

• 1 tsp spice*

• Sunflower oil (for frying)

*I used my homemade 'zaatar', but you could use anything you like. Your favourite spice - cumin, smoked paprika, Italian herbs or just black pepper

METHOD

• Cut the halloumi into chip fries and drizzle with a little olive oil

• Mix the polenta and spice and toss in the halloumi

• Heat about 2cm of oil (I use sunflower oil) in a pan until really hot. (use a sprinkle of polenta to check - if it sizzles instantly, it's hot enough!)

• Fry the halloumi for a few minutes on each side until the cheese is hot and starts to ooze out

• Remove carefully from the oil with a spatula or some tongs and pat dry with kitchen roll

Enjoy with your favourite dipping sauce or in pita breads filled with fresh lettuce and cucumber

Enjoy! Joseph x
