Coated in sesame seeds and served with soured cream, honey and fresh pomegranate – what’s not to love?
Serves 2
4 tbsp plain flour 1 tsp sesame seeds 1 x 250g pack of halloumi cut into chunky chip ‘fries’ Vegetable oil for deep frying 1 tsp honey Seeds of 1⁄2 a pomegranate Bunch of flat-leaf parsley 4 tbsp soured cream
1 In a bowl, combine the flour and sesame seeds. Coat the halloumi fries in the mixture until covered. 2 Place a small, heavy-based pan over a medium-high heat and pour in 2–3cm of vegetable oil. Test to see if the oil is ready by dropping a small piece of halloumi into the pan – it should immediately start sizzling. 3 Carefully place a few halloumi fries in the pan and fry for a couple of minutes on each side until crunchy and golden. You’ll needtodothisinbatchesof4or5soas not to overcrowd the pan. Using a slotted spoon, carefully remove the fries and drain on kitchen paper. 4 Drizzle the fries with honey, scatter with pomegranate and parsley and serve with a dollop of soured cream on the side.
