Halloumi Saganaki

Prep Time10 minutes
Cook Time10 minutes
Course: Appetizer
Cuisine: Cypriot

Ingredients

  • 2 Charalambides Christis Halloumi , halved
  • 100 g Honey
  • 1 tbsp Fresh Oregano , finely chopped
  • ½ cup Semolina
  • 1 Egg , beaten
  • 30 ml EVOO , Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 30 ml Rapeseed Oil
  • 1 tsp Sweet Chili Flakes

Instructions

  • Use a bowl where you have added the semolina. Add into another bowl the beaten egg with 2 tbsp of water and mix well. Place the cut halloumi into the egg mixture and then dredge into the bowl with the semolina so they have a crust all-over them.
  • In the meantime, place a medium non-stick pan on medium heat. A minute later pour the oils and allow to heat up. Add the halloumi into the pan, making sure that you shake off any excess semolina.
  • Shallow fry both sides, flipping just ones, until golden brown.
  • At the same time, place a small pot on low heat and add the honey along with the oregano. Just warm it and keep aside.
  • Place the halloumi in a plate, drizzle with the honey and sprinkle the chili flakes on top.
