Ingredients

2 tablespoon vegetable or olive oil

2 tablespoon lemon juice

1 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano leaves

250 gram haloumi, cut into 1cm slices lengthwise

2 teaspoon salted capers, rinsed, chopped

1/2 teaspoon dried chilli flakes

mixed leaf salad, to serve

crusty bread, to serve

olives, to serve

Method

1.Combine half the oil, half the juice and 1 teaspoon of the oregano in a small jug. Place haloumi in a shallow glass or ceramic dish. Pour lemon mixture over haloumi. Set aside 10 minutes, to marinate.

2.Heat a large frying pan over high heat. Cook haloumi, in batches, 1-2 minutes each side, or until golden brown. Transfer to a serving plate.

3.Add remaining oil to pan. Stir in remaining juice and oregano, capers and chilli. Let bubble 10 seconds; remove from heat. Drizzle warm dressing over haloumi and salad. Serve with bread and olives.

Haloumi only needs a quick sear – be careful not to overcook it.
