You Will Need (8 things)

  • 250 g Halloumi Cheese
  • 175 g Greek Yoghurt
  • 1 Lemon
  • Oil
  • 1 tbsp rose Harissa
  • 3 tbsp Za’atar
  • 75 g plain Flour
  • Mint

Steps (6 steps, 60 minutes)

  1. 1

    Mix the 170g pot of Greek yogurt with the lemon zest and add some additional seasoning.

  2. 2

    Swirl 1 tablespoon of rose harissa so you have pockets of hot and cool flavours throughout the dip.

  3. 3

    One a plate, stir 3 tablespoons of za’atar into 75g of plain flour, and then role the halloumi in the mixture and ensure it is evenly coated.

  4. 4

    Heat oil in a shallow, heavy-bottomed pan or casserole dish until it is 180°c on a cooking thermometer, or until a piece of bread browns in 20 seconds.

  5. 5

    Carefully lower batches of Halloumi into the oil and cook for 2 minutes until it is crisp and golden. Once it is, remove it and drain in kitchen paper.

  6. 6

    Sprinkle over the mint and za’atar, and serve with the lemon wedges and the spicy yogurt dipping.
