Halloumi goes into a dry pan, not an oiled one. It releases plenty of its own fat and oil just makes it slide instead of crust.

Ingredients

halloumi140 g
lentils300 g
tomato150 g
cucumber100 g
rocket50 g
olive oil1 tbsp
lemon25 g
honey1 tsp
mint1 to taste
black pepper1 to taste

Instructions

Slice the halloumi a centimetre thick and pat it dry. Wet halloumi will not colour.
Grill it in a dry hot pan, 2 minutes a side, until there are dark lines and the edges have gone crisp.
Toss the drained lentils with the oil, lemon, honey and pepper.
Fold in the tomato, cucumber and rocket, lay the halloumi on top and eat while it is still squeaky.
