Method

Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Halloumi

Cut the halloumi cheese into fry-shaped sticks, about 1 cm thick.

2

Coat the Halloumi

In a bowl, mix the cornstarch, salt, and black pepper. Toss the halloumi sticks in the mixture until evenly coated.

3

Fry the Halloumi

Heat the olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry the halloumi sticks until golden brown and crispy on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.

4

Make the Harissa Sauce

In a small bowl, mix the harissa paste, Greek yogurt, minced garlic, and lemon juice until well combined.

5

Serve

Serve the halloumi fries hot with the harissa sauce on the side and sprinkle with preserved lemon zest and chopped parsley.
