Fried Halloumi Cheese with Lime and Caper Vinaigrette

picGhxcXV12 oz Halloumi Cheese

2 T. flour, seasoned with salt and pepper

2 T. olive oil

For the dressing

 

Juice and zest of 1 lime

1 T. white wine vinegar

1 1/2 T. capers, drained

1 clove garlic, finely chopped

1 tsp grain mustard

1 T. chopped fresh cilantro leaves

2 T. extra-virgin olive oil

Salt and freshly-ground black pepper

 

First of all, pat the Cheese dry with paper towels. Then, using a sharp knife, slice it into eight slices, including the ends. Now dredge in seasoned flour. Prepare the dressing by simply beating all the ingredients together in a small mixing bowl. When you’re ready to serve the Halloumi, heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. When the oil is really hot add Cheese to the hot skillet—they take 1 minute on each side to cook, so by the time the last one’s in, it will almost be time to turn the first one over.  They need to be a good golden color on each side. Serve them on warmed plates with the dressing poured over and garnished with the cilantro sprigs.
