Halloumi with black seed honey

Not yet rated

This halloumi recipe is one of the most delicious ways we've ever come across cooking the firm cheese. Pan-fried until crisp and then doused with a nigella, coriander, pepper and chilli-infused honey (plus a little lemon zest), it's a knockout dish that's ready in minutes.

Method

1
Place the nigella seeds, coriander seeds, pepper and urfa chilli flakes in a spice grinder or pestle and mortar and blitz or crush to a fine powder. Stir the spices through the honey and set aside
2
Halve each block of halloumi so you're left with 4 thick pieces. Heat a dash of olive oil in a frying pan over a medium-high heat, then pan-fry the halloumi for 3-5 minutes on each side until golden and crisp
3
To serve, place a slice of halloumi on each plate and season with a little lemon juice and zest. Drizzle over the spiced honey and serve immediately
