Ingredients

  • 2 Halloumi , Pissourkotiko Traditional Goat and Sheep, Charalambides Christis
  • 200g Lountza , smoked
  • 2 large Tomatoes , sliced
  • 2 Cucumbers , thinly sliced
  • 100g Piccalilli , press here for recipe
  • 3 Triares Sesame buns
  • Pinch of Salt

Instructions

  • We start by slicing thinly the Lountza and thickly the Halloumi. Use a pan to lightly cook both the Lountza and the Halloumi aiming to achieve a light golden colour. Keep aside.
  • Slice the bans without separating them and put some heat on them using the same pan, again to achieve a light golden colour.
  • To put everything together, place the buns on your working area and spread on the bottom side of each bun some piccalilli. Then place over them the slices Lountza one overlapping the other. Lay on top the Halloumi slices each one snugged next to the other.
  • Add the tomato slices and the cucumber slices, one overlapping the other. Lightly season with salt, flip the other side of the bun and press gently the sandwich. Cut in half and serve next to more piccalilli.
