Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Halloumi

    Slice the halloumi cheese into thick slices (about 1.5 cm each).

  2. 2

    Coat with Flour

    Dredge each slice of halloumi in all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until hot.

  4. 4

    Fry the Halloumi

    Add the floured halloumi slices to the hot oil and fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.

  5. 5

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the fried halloumi from the pan and place on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot with lemon wedges and garnish with fresh parsley.
