Ingredients
  

  • 600 g halloumi cheese
  • 5 tbsp honey
  • 1 medium lemon
  • 4 sprigs thyme
  • 2-3 tbsp olive oil

Equipment

  • 1 Pan For cooking halloumi
  • 1 Container For marinating

Method
 

  1. Slice halloumi in 1 centimeter thick pieces.
  2. In a small bowl, add the honey, juice of the lemon and thyme leaves. Mix well.
  3. Add one layer of halloumi slices to an air tight container. Spoon over a layer of the honey lemon dressing. Add another layer of halloumi on top, add dressing, repeating until all the cheese has been added. Pour over any remaining dressing.
  4. Place container in the fridge to marinate for as long as you can, minimum of one hour.
  5. Turn container upside down occasionally so dressing can marinate and coat the cheese on all sides.
  6. Heat olive oil in a pan on medium heat. Once heated, gently place some halloumi cheese slices in the pan. Don't overcrowd the pan.
  7. After 2-3 minutes, turn the cheese slices around. After 1 minute, add a few spoons of the dressing to glaze the cheese.
  8. Once seared, remove from the pan and add to a plate. Repeat until all cheese is cooked.
  9. Upon serving, add a few more spoons of the honey dressing to coat the cheese and enjoy!

Notes

Marinating overnight yields the best flavor.
