Description
by Hayssam
This should look impressive and be bursting with refreshing flavour.
Enjoy!
Ingredients
| 2 x Halloumi cheese blocks (Pittas is best) |
| 1 x fresh Pomegranate fruit |
| 200g fresh Tomato (we used the small grape Tomato) |
| 3-4 sprigs of fresh Mint |
| 1-2 tbsp Sami's Kitchen Zaatar blend |
| 50ml Caramelised Balsamic Vinegar (love Pukara Estate) |
Directions
- 1
- Cut the Halloumi cheese into slices, approximately 1cm thick.
- 2
- (It's always a good idea to wash the Halloumi in fresh running water after removing from the packaging)
- 3
- Heat a large frypan, add a touch of olive oil to avoid sticking, and grill the Halloumi slices on both sides until golden; this should take no more than 1-2 minutes per side.
- 4
- Remove the Halloumi from the pan and let it cool down, then cut each slice into 4-6 small pieces.
- 5
- Remove the Pomegranate "pearls" from the flesh of the fruit and place in a bowl.
- 6
- Cut the Tomato into slices or if using the small grape Tomato simply slice in half.
- 7
- Remove the Mint leaves from the stalk.
- 8
- Find a nice big platter; place the Halloumi at the bottom; add the Pomegranates, Tomato and Mint on top; sprinkle the Zaatar over the whole lot and then drizzle the Caramelised Balsamic Vinegar.
- 9
- You may add some Salt to taste.
