Ingredients
HALOUMI
- 18 oz (500g) haloumi cheese

- 2 whole eggs lightly whisked
- 2 1/2 cups panko breadcrumbs or your favourite gluten free alternative crumb
ROAST GARLIC SAUCE
- 6 fat cloves of roasted garlic - see notes
- 6 anchovy fillets
- 1 heaped tablespoon salted baby capers - rinsed of salt
- 1 cup italian parsley leaves without stems
- 2 teaspoon finely grated lemon rind
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
TO SERVE
- roasted capsicum strips
- slivers of fresh red (spanish) onion
- lemon wedges
Instructions
ROAST GARLIC SAUCE
- process garlic, anchovies, lemon rind, lemon juice and olive oil till smooth
- add parsley and pulse 4-5 times
- add capers and pulse 4-5 times
- season with fresh ground pepper
- we're looking for some texture with this sauce which is why ingredients are added separately. Alternately you can hand chop the parsley and add the baby capers whole if using.
HALOUMI
- cut haloumi into 1/2 inch ( 1 1/4 cm) slices ,then cut in half to give you 'fingers'
- dust haloumi with flour
- dip floured haloumi into egg, then cover with panko crumbs
- continue until all pieces are crumbed, then cover and refrigerate until ready to fry
- when ready to fry heat extra virgin olive oil on medium heat ( drop a few breadcrumbs into oil to check that you have an immediate sizzle, if not heat oil for longer)
- fry haloumi till golden brown then turn over.
- fry sides of haloumi and when golden lift onto plate with a couple of pieces of hand towel to drain for a minute or so
- serve with roasted garlic, anchovy and caper sauce
Notes
- Roast garlic -simply separate cloves and wrap in foil. Place parcel in 350F (180 C) oven and roast for 35-45 minutes or until soft and sweet. When cooked you make a small slit in garlic cloves and peel garlic skin away . The garlic becomes soft and sweet once roasted.
