Method

Preparation of Ingredients

  1. 1

    Toast the Pine Nuts

    In a small skillet over medium heat, toast the pine nuts for about 3-5 minutes or until they are golden brown, stirring frequently to prevent burning. Remove from heat and set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Halloumi

    Cut the halloumi cheese into slices about 1 cm thick. This will allow for even frying and a nice texture.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Fry the Halloumi

    In a non-stick skillet, heat a little olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the halloumi slices and fry for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Remove from the skillet and place on a paper towel to drain any excess oil.

  2. 4

    Assemble the Sandwiches

    Slice the mini sandwich buns in half. On the bottom half of each bun, place a few fresh arugula or spinach leaves, followed by a slice of fried halloumi. Drizzle with pomegranate molasses, and sprinkle with toasted pine nuts. Optionally, add sliced tomatoes, and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Top with the other half of the bun.

Serving

  1. 5

    Serve the Mini Sandwiches

    Arrange the assembled mini sandwiches on a platter and serve immediately, while the halloumi is still warm.
