Halloumi is a very versatile cheese and unusual in that it can be fried yet hold its shape. It pairs perfectly with tomatoes. This dish makes a delicious starter or snack, or can be served with bread and salad as a main meal.

Heat the oven to 180C, 350F, gas mark 4. Place the tomatoes in a bowl and toss with the olive oil, ground cumin and seasoning and then arrange them, cut side up, in a baking dish. Bake in the pre-heated oven for 30 minutes.
Cut the halloumi cheese into 8 fingers. A few minutes before the tomatoes are due to be ready, fry in a wide, shallow pan for about 3 minutes each side, until golden.
Place two pieces of fried cheese on each plate and spoon a quarter of the baked tomatoes over each. Serve immediately
