Halloumi with Chili
Recipe courtesy Nigella Lawson, 2007
Ingredients
2 tablespoons chopped, seeded fresh red chile (about 2 medium chiles)
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
18 ounces halloumi, sliced medium-thin (i.e. just under 1/4-inch)
1/4 lemon, juiced
Instructions
Mix the chopped chile and olive oil in a small bowl or cup and leave the
flavors to deepen while you cook the cheese. I use a nonstick frying pan for this, without any oil,
and just give the cheese slices about 2 minutes a side until they're golden brown in parts. When
all the slices of halloumi are cooked, transfer them to a couple of small plates. Give the chile
oil a stir, spoon it over the cheese, then give a spritz of lemon. That's all there is to
it.
