Fried Halloumi With Cucumber Salad
Combine the diced cucumber and a ripe, chopped tomato or two, a lot of olive oil and pepper, and some parsley and mint. Taste and add some salt, but not too much because the cheese will be salty.
Then, cut a lemon into wedges to serve on the side, and put some crusty bread or pitas wrapped in foil in a low oven to warm.
Meanwhile, cut the cheese into finger-thick slices or sticks. Heat a well-seasoned or nonstick pan, well swirled with olive oil, until it is nearly about to smoke. Add the halloumi and cook, turning the pieces a few times, until they are golden brown on all sides.
Call your people to the table. Everyone gets a slice or two of cheese and a healthy pile of salad. Pass the lemon around and serve the bread on the side.
