Honey-drenched NZ Haloumi
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons runny honey
- ½ teaspoon black sesame seeds
- ½ teaspoon coriander seeds
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 190g The Waimata Cheese Co. Haloumi with Chilli
- finely grated zest and juice of 1 lime
To serve
- leafy green salad leaves
- sourdough bread slices, grilled or fresh
Method
- Put the honey into a small bowl. Put the sesame seeds in a mortar and pestle and roughly crush then stir through the honey. Crush the coriander seeds to a fine powder then stir through the honey.
- Heat a large frying pan over high heat for a minute. Add the olive oil and lower the heat to medium. Cut the haloumi into 3-4 slices lengthwise and put in the pan. Pan-fry on each side until golden and crisp. Stand and watch as only takes a few minutes.
- To serve, put a slice of haloumi on each plate and drizzle with a little lime juice. Drizzle over the honey and sprinkle with the lime zest.
- Serve with a leafy green salad and grilled or fresh sourdough bread slices.
Handy Tips
Choose a honey with a hint of savouriness rather than full on sweetness, to add extra flavour to the delicious and inspired haloumi.
