Method

  1. 1

    Heat a non-stick pan over medium-high with the olive oil.

  2. 2

    Add the halloumi sticks and fry for 2–3 minutes each side until golden brown.

  3. 3

    Remove from the heat and squeeze over the lemon juice — it will sizzle.

  4. 4

    Scatter with the fresh herbs and a grind of black pepper.

  5. 5

    Serve straight from the pan as a mezze or alongside a salad.

Tip · Halloumi is salty enough on its own — taste before adding any extra salt.
