Breakfast & Brunch
Halloumi with Fruit and Honey
Serves 4
Ingredients
- 1 pkg (7-10 oz) Pittas Halloumi cheese
- 2 oranges
- 1 grapefruit
- 6 prunes
- 6 figs (fresh or dried)
- 6 apricots (fresh, dried or preserved)
- 1 lemon
- 4 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons toasted blanched slivered almonds
Method
Cut the Halloumi into 1/4-inch slices. Pat dry on paper towel.
Remove the rind of the oranges, holding them over a bowl. Loosen the sections by cutting between the fruit and the membrane. Peel and segment the grapefruit, and remove the membrane.
Pit the prunes and the apricots, then cut all the fruit in half. Combine with the citrus fruit in the bowl.
Grate the zest from the lemon, then squeeze the juice onto the fruit mixture. Add 3 tablespoons of the honey and toss well.
Just before serving heat a heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the Halloumi cheese slices and fry, without adding any oil, until golden, 1-2 minutes each side.
Transfer the fruit salad into a shallow serving dish. Arrange fried Halloumi on top and drizzle the rest of the honey over it. Sprinkle the almonds on top and serve immediately.
